Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As the Member is aware, the issue about school space was first raised by school boards when we met with them right after the last election. So it has been something that all the Yellowknife Members have been involved in for almost four years now.
The issues of or the manner in which it's been handled was, first of all, after the first couple of meetings there didn't seem to be any easy way to move forward, so I put together a committee that involved all of the stakeholders in education in Yellowknife. That committee met and over the course of a number of months; delivered a final report about a year ago.
Subsequent to that, since it didn't come to some resolution on space for schools in Yellowknife, I brought in
a mediator and asked him to meet with the two boards. That didn't come to any fruitful resolution.
Following that, I met myself with the two boards to try and move the process along. So there's been ongoing consultation to try and bring this to some resolution over the past three years. Thank you.
