Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister responsible for Education, Culture and Employment. Mr. Speaker, the Deh Cho Divisional Board of Education has been expressing an interest in piloting capital projects for some time now. This was expressed to the Department of Public Works and Services as well as the Department of Education, Culture and Employment.
There was one reference made on Monday to Deh Gah School which is in Fort Providence, for the renovation and addition to the school which was identified as a pilot project. Meetings have been conducted between the Department of Education, Culture and Employment and the board to see what the implication of this project authority would be. Furthermore, they used meetings conducted with the Deh Gah Got'ie Betterment Corporation of Fort Providence. What has happened here is that on March 3rd, a tender was put out calling for design proposals by the Department of Public Works and Services, this came as a shock to the board of directors. As a result, I would like to ask the Minister if he could explain to the House what happened here in terms of the meetings that took place between his department and the Deh Cho Divisional Board of Education. Thank you.
