Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my Member’s statement today I talked about some concerns of a couple of the schools in my riding. They are quite the gems in our educational system. They represent great culture and certainly diversity in our community and I think they do very well.
As I highlighted, the schools have not had complete updating. As I mentioned about Sissons, it’s been 35 years the school has been in our school system and the school has not been updated in a fair way; acknowledging outside of that, of course, the boiler and the paint. Mildred Hall has been 45 years in the education system and other than half the upgrade that it rightly deserved in 2005. My question to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment is: what would it take to get these two schools properly back into the capital planning process to make sure that these necessary updates and renovations get done in a complete and reasonable way?
