Thank you, Mr. Chair. The company came forward and asked to get these extra two hours? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for that answer. I guess I'm just looking at some notes here, and it says it was all done. Can the Minister please clarify? The notes I have here says the project in Fort Liard was all done except for the fencing, but for the bathroom? Now, I'm hearing that the bathroom hasn't been completed. Can we get that verified? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I thank the Minister for that suggestion, but they would like a little more detail. I guess I'll follow up with an email with the Minister of Infrastructure on this, and try to get a breakdown, but I thank the Minister for providing information here today. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, and I thank the Minister for that commitment and the information, I guess. I guess the question I have is: have we learned anything? I guess maybe it's just because of the huge influx of money from the federal government, but do you come up with best practices of how to improve the process? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I would assume then it is similar for the Highway No. 7 reconstruction; that's chip sealing, resurface, repairs and drainage improvements, from 137 to 153, correct? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am just going to go back to clarification here. The business plans start in October. We approve them, and so we are having delays getting these contracts out in a timely manner. Has the department looked at even moving that process even earlier so that we can get these contracts out as of April 1st? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So this was not done last fiscal year, or is this a new project? I am just trying to understand because we had a carry-over in this area here. Maybe I am missing something. Could the Minister please advise? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I apologize to the Minister. Maybe I should write the questions and send them to her so that I get clearer direction of what I am trying to ask. So I must apologize to the Minister for that. I am hearing a lot that the government is not going to put a gym in this community because of the population there, so will the department work with the community to come up with a plan, and, if that plan involves going to the federal government, will they work with the community to actually approach the federal government to provide a gym, a community gym, so they can have safe, quality recreation...

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for that. I am just trying to make sure I can get this information to the council, so I greatly appreciate the Minister getting that information. As soon as we get it, or even if the Minister or the department can get back to the community, that would be great. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions will be to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment today. In my Member's statement, you heard me talk about the community in Sambaa K'e, about their school expansion and the issue about the gym. My first question to the Minister: the architects in the department made a commitment to come back and give them alternative options there. Has the department provided these options to the community? Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.
