Thanks, Mr. Chair. Thanks to the Minister for that follow-up. I'll follow up with the Minister to see if we can get that process underway for that small capital addition to the school.

And I did hear the Minister make reference to requesting schools for improvements. Is that part of the spring afterschool part of the year on looking forward to the schools placing forward their summer needs, the repairs, and bringing that forward to develop this capital plan? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes, thanks to the Minister for that reply. So I take it there once the capital is approved there, we can look forward -- or the community could look forward to mobilization or repair materials there over this winter road season? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My first question to the Minister is on page 22, the staff housing improvements for the Colville Lake community. Can the Minister explain a little bit about what the repair program is detailed to become? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, would like to recognize ex-colleague, ex-Speaker, Mr. ex-chief Sonny Blake, as well as ex-chief Grace Blake as well, and not to forget Uncle Georgie. Mahsi.

Thank you, Member. Do you take it as a comment; Do you want to reply there, Minister?
