Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I just wanted to, of course, continue my dialogue and actually ask a library question, as well, in my dialogue about replacing the school in Trout Lake. I know that government, we do have a 20-year needs assessment, so maybe I can ask the Minister if he can show me that list and show me where the Trout Lake school is on the 20-year needs assessment, and maybe we can start that dialogue there and if he can make a commitment that we can meet sometime this week to look at exactly where the Trout Lake school is on the capital needs assessment.
We had a good debate in the House here today. I don’t have to go on at length about the needs of the community of Trout Lake and some of the
reasoning that they have given me, which I have spoken about. I know that the department has their own assessment of the school in Trout Lake. But I think, overall, the point I’ve been trying to make, it’s a classroom in the community hall and it’s not a replacement school, which was promised to the community of Trout Lake many, many years ago. If the Minister could provide that information, like I said, I would be happy to meet with him at another point in time.
Changing the topic just briefly, it was about trying to get the library issue addressed, as well, in the community of Fort Simpson. I know that I haven’t had an opportunity for an update in Fort Simpson, but the needs are still there for a stand-alone library as well. I’d like to work towards it. I know that we’ve got some money in the capital budget but it’s meant for minor repairs and replacement and things like that, but I’d certainly like to continue to pursue the library needs in Fort Simpson.
Speaking about the library budget, I know that in our capital substantiation there seems to be a year skipped. There’s money put aside this year for ’13-14. It seems to be absent. I just thought I’d double check that. We’re skipping a year, so we’re getting funding for this coming fiscal year. The following one there’s no money in the budget, and then the third year we’re getting a contribution for the library. I’m just curious why that is there, Mr. Chair. Thanks.
