Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Once again I’d ask if we could refer that question to Minister Lafferty.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We’d be happy to provide the ’09–10 list of identified maintenance for communities, all the communities, to the committee again.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’ll refer that program question to the Minister of Education.

We don’t have that complete list. Once again, I can get the information for the Member of what major buildings were assessed.

Mr. Chairman, I would defer to the Minister of Education, Mr. Lafferty.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’ll refer that specific question to Minister Lafferty.

I hesitated to give a definition for deferred maintenance because I assumed I would be told I was being obtuse, that clearly he wanted the detail of what the money was going to be spent on. I just want to apologize to the Member.

Deferred maintenance is maintenance that should have been completed at a previous time but wasn’t for various reasons, usually fiscal. It has now been identified as needing to be done, which is why we’re spending the millions of dollars we have identified as a Legislature: to try to catch up on that particular backlog.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It’s on the schedule to reappear in 2011–12, and go forward for a project size of $15.691 million.

Mr. Chairman, that level of detail for a project that was worked on this summer I don’t have before us, but I could get what information I can to the member.

Deferred maintenance for Deninu Ku’e School is one of the things we have on the list for ’09–10.
