Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. To the motion. Premier McLeod.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Committee, we’re on general comments. Questions probably will come up more in the clause-by-clause. General comments. Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Minister Beaulieu. Ms. MacNeil.

Obviously, I guess we would need to assess whether Colville is one of the 23 that is going to continue with Junior Kindergarten, and if it hasn’t been spent, would they still like to be invested in that? I mean, I think that’s relative to today’s statements in the House and maybe clarification where they’re at status-wise and where they want to be going forward as well.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to recognize Danny Gaudet and Leonard Kenny, as well, from Deline.

That’s good. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Obviously, as we go through this project, one of the concerns when we first started when we were looking to approval was procurement of northern contractors. Has the department kept up with reporting of how many northern contractors are benefiting from the project, and can we get any of that type of information to date?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I, obviously, had some questions about the highway, the Tuk to Inuvik highway, and the expenditures there. I guess we should be celebrating the fact that we’re going to look to accelerate this project and move forward. It sounds like the project could be moved forward and get done earlier than expected. I’m assuming with that we’re on budget, as well, but the difficulty comes in the fact that we’re asked to approve these budgets, and the Tuk to Inuvik highway was one of those dilemmas.

As a Member from the south, is that a project that we would support or not support? We...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just have a question. Obviously, with the news today about JK and the assessment, have these expenditures already been done or are they being done in the next little while? Thank you.
