Mahsi, Mr. Chair. We did have a lively debate earlier on Trout Lake, and I do understand where the Member’s coming from and I’m seriously looking into this, as well, with my department. I’ve already indicated to my deputy that there are certain schools that we may have to seriously look at. There’s been an increase in enrolment. History shows us that the enrolment has been increasing, so that’s an area that we can definitely look at and start planning, conduct a planning process for the Charles Tetcho School in Trout Lake. I will be committing to working with the Members and also the standing committee to make this part of the priority for this government, as well, along with other schools in the Northwest Territories.
The 20-year plan, unfortunately, is not general public information so I won’t be able to share that information at this point. Again, I’m committed to working with the Members on the school itself.
With respect to the community library, in the past we’ve worked with the town council to try and identify a location. It’s been a struggle. It’s been a challenge. But at the same time, I’m of the opinion that we need to discuss that further and again open up our discussion. I understand there are some new council members as well. We will be going to
the community of Nahendeh and we will be visiting Fort Simpson. I’d like for my team to look into the library area again, because I have my new deputy as well. She will be visiting all or most of the communities. I’m making a commitment to the Member that I will be visiting and we can discuss it further from there.
