Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My statement today is on education. Thirty years ago, this government tried to create a town called Edzo. They wanted to move the people from Rae, so they built the school in Edzo. For 30 years, we transported our children back and forth -- safely, I have to say. However, now the community of Rae wants to maximize the use of the facility in Edzo, which is part residential and part school. They have asked for a junior high school in the community of Rae. The plan for the school in Edzo is to use it for mine training, oil and gas, for economic development, whatever is out there. They did petition the Minister on that.
This government is putting infrastructure into some communities, but only putting half of the infrastructure in. We have a whole infrastructure here that we can use. In Inuvik, they are putting in a college without a residence being included. That is only half and that is a shame.
We have infrastructure in the Dogrib region that we can use. I want to make a statement saying that for too long, the small communities have gone without. It is time that we started maximizing on every structure we put in place and it is time we listened to the people as to what they want.
Mr. Speaker, I will have questions on this later. Thank you.
