Mahsi, Mr. Chair. The 49 schools that we’re responsible for, any issues or concerns brought to our attention we have to work with PWS, Public Works and Services. We have addressed a lot of them, but they are continuous challenges that we’re faced with, whether it be the mice and other issues that the school boards bring to our attention. So, we’ll continue to work with that through Public Works and Services and to deal with those matters immediately.

The community learning centres, this is an area that Aurora College is responsible for under their umbrella. If there’s a request that comes in from the college, I believe the Member is correct that there are 23 community lea

rning centres and that there’s

an appetite for adding a couple more into the remote communities that may not have it. That’s the discussion that we need to have with Aurora College, with the identified community and put that forward. We haven’t really had that type of discussion, but I’m open to discussing that if it arises.

Early childhood, the Member is referring to whether it will be new schools or existing schools that have experienced a surplus of space that could be possibly early childhood or a child centre could be made available. I believe that’s been discussed in the past, as well, and we’re doing what we can to maximize that opportunity. This will also be addressed with the school boards, as well, that we represent throughout the Northwest Territories. We feel that the early childhood is a priority for us, as well, and also for the school boards. So, if it hasn’t been made a priority when a space becomes available, then that needs to be addressed by the school board and we will be reminding them of that as well.

The East Three, the dental area, the Member is correct that it’s been brought to the floor, as well, and it’s going to be addressed in the future. My understanding was that I thought it was dealt with, but I could be mistaken as well. We need to follow up on exactly where that is. Like the Member, it’s been a while since we last discussed this particular subject and I will make a commitment to provide the Member with the latest information and how can we move forward on that. Mahsi.
