Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in line with the policy instituted by the previous government for capital planning, communities are given a significant role in determining their priorities in the design of community facilities like community learning centres. It is definitely the policy of the Department of Education, Culture and Employment that communities should have input in the design of facilities.
Typically, Mr. Speaker, the method for community input would have the community representative on the divisional board bringing the concerns to the division board. Divisional board staff do have a lot of input with departmental officials on design factors. Obviously, Mr. Speaker, given the economic climate, there are limits to what can be achieved, but the department does do its best to listen to community requests for design changes.
