Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Government Services and Public Works. Mr. Speaker, the people of Rae-Edzo for years now have administered their schools. When the Elizabeth Mackenzie Elementary School was built in 1991, the Rae-Edzo school society expected they would carry the responsibility of operation and maintenance of the building in keeping with the previous agreements with our government. However, Mr. Speaker, the department's officials appear to refuse to sign an agreement with the Rae-Edzo school society regarding the transfer of the funding for the O and M.

Mr. Speaker, I raised this issue on June 29, 1992, and to date this issue has not been resolved. Will the Minister immediately direct his officials to negotiate with the Rae-Edzo school society for the transfer of funding for the operations and maintenance of the Elizabeth Mackenzie Elementary School?
