Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. Just a clarification on how soon we expect to provide that information on the program review.

Another school in my riding, since we are dealing with Education, Culture and Employment, is the Paul Niditchie School in Tsiigehtchic. It has a joint community hall/small gymnasium, which is attached to the school and used for both purposes: as a community hall and by the school for recreation.

Minister of Finance.

Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I, too, would like to respond to questions asked by Mr. Yakeleya in regard to the school that was built in Tulita.

When the school was destroyed by fire in Fort McPherson, the community had to put $400,000 into that school in order to get a larger sized gym. They were told that under the building standards for schools, there was only so much square footage based on enrolment and also the size of the classroom and everything else. That included a gymnasium.

I’d like to call Committee of the Whole back to order. Prior to the break we agreed that we would begin with the Legislative Assembly.

Minister of Education, Mr. Lafferty.

Moving on to page 7-7, Education and Culture, Infrastructure Investment Summary, Total Infrastructure Investment Summary: $74.794 million. Mr. Bromley.
