Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I was happy with the responses that came from the Minister on the community learning centres in Fort Resolution and Ndilo. However, I asked the questions on the wrong category as yesterday we were on schools and not the college. So I just, I guess, wanted to clarify if the responses yesterday would still be applicable, even though they were given in a different category. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that we report progress.

Marci cho, Mr. Speaker. I will be very brief. I'd like to thank all Members that worked on the mid-term review. It was not easy to come up with a position that has so many different moving parts to it. We had all kinds of possibilities: how long do we give the Cabinet Members to speak; how many questions would we be allowed to ask, you know, in all fairness if everybody asked a full set of questions of every department with every Minister and so on. So there was a lot of possibilities, a lot of combinations and so on and we worked hard to try to come up with something that we thought would be...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, if we look at infrastructure for other departments, we'll say, such as Transportation or maybe Health, we know that there is $81 million in the capital plan for our partners that are building the hospital.

This is the cash flow that's going through here. I don't understand how that could be reflected in here, or other federal money that's going into the Inuvik-Tuk Highway gets reflected in the capital plan but the Building Canada Fund of money that's going to the municipalities is not reflected in the capital plan. I just wouldn’t mind having that...

Mr. Speaker, some programs that are being delivered sometimes comes with some pre-requisites that individuals would at the end of the training have to have full-time jobs, and in our small communities there's no full-time jobs available for the most part. I'd like to ask the Minister if he could review the Small Communities Employment Support Program to remove any barriers that may prevent the program from being easily accessed.

Marci cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to recognize two pages from Detah: Joseph Charlo-Lafferty and Brianna Nitsiza. Also, Mr. Speaker, I'd like to also recognize Mary Rose Sundberg, also from Detah, that's our interpreter today. Marci cho.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the response from the Minister. I think that there is certainly a lot of discussion at the federal level about wanting to develop a system, like a homecare system that will support individuals in the long run. I think these projects educating our adults and so on are something that is going to be positive. It would be programs that could be run out of there that could assist the communities.

It could defer costs in the future, social costs in the future to our government. I appreciate the Minister's willingness to have those discussions. If...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Staying with the community learning centres, there is also one contemplated in the capital needs assessment at 2020-2021 for Fort Resolution. They have a very old building used as a community learning centre. So I would like to well, no, make more comments before I ask the Minister a question.

In approximately 2009 or 2010, there was money set aside in the capital plan to leverage federal dollars to build community learning centres. I know that the Member from Mackenzie Delta and myself were able to take advantage of the federal funding and were able to get one new...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am going to go back to the things that are not in the capital plan but not anticipated to be in the capital plan. At this point, I'm just trying to get a schedule for it. Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask the Minister if they are looking at the 20-year needs assessment, which is, I guess, the first step to developing a five-year capital plan. In the 20-year needs assessment, in 2018-2019, it indicates that the Detah School is scheduled for replacement. I'm wondering if I can get the Minister to give me a capital update on that Detah School? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I'm wondering if the Minister could give me a little more detail on the timing of what he had spoke about. Maybe the timing as to when we can expect to see this being contemplated through the Capital Planning Process or if it's already been contemplated through the Capital Planning Process. I don't know. So just a little more detail on the timing. Thank you.
