Mr. Speaker, as I alluded to earlier, the Hay River Library has occupied a building owned by the Department of Public Works for the past 30 years. This building is relatively old and has not had any significant maintenance or upgrades over this time. The ventilation, air quality and lighting systems need to be reviewed.

Would the Minister please indicate if he would be willing to work with the Minister of Public Works to carry out an energy audit and technical review of the Hay River Library building, as well as an analysis of the space needs of the library and the territorial library offices which are occupied in the same building? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
