Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would like to thank the Minister and staff for that answer. I think it’s important for me to hear that definitely it’s not meant to be a long-term solution. As you do the planning study, I think a few things are important to engage the community, to engage the chief and band council and let them know that. Chief Dolphus Jumbo has told me, he says, Kevin, I’ve seen this before. They’ll come and do temporary, but it will end up permanent. I don’t want to lose that stand-alone school that we’ve been working so hard to get. I think that’s important.
I don’t know if part of the scope of the planning study, perhaps I can get the Minister’s comment on this, is to get a class D estimate on what a whole replacement school would be. It would be interesting for me to know and to share with the community as they do their planning study. I’m pretty sure a class D estimate is not going to be too much work for the department to get those cost figures if the Minister can instruct whoever is doing that planning study to do that work as well.
I was just thinking in terms of funding, as well, Mr. Chair. What is the possibility of accessing Building Canada dollars slated for small communities for educational capital expenditures? I would like to get the Minister’s thoughts on that.
I see I’m running out of time, but I want to get some more clarification in. This is a different topic, but it’s the parking space for the Fort Liard school. If the Minister could address whether that will be completed in the 2015-16 capital budget. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
