Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the building that the Hay River Library occupies is unable to have air conditioning installed due to the age of the building. This creates a very unbearable situation for the patrons and staff of the library during the summer months. In the summer, the sun overheats the building, which is not ventilated. This is destroying the books as well as making the environment in the library unacceptable.

Could the Minister please state if his department would consider purchasing draperies for the Hay River Library windows in order to deal with this problem? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
