Agreed. We shall return to page 50, Justice Department, total capital investment estimate, $16,683,000. Does committee agree?

We shall go back. Mr. Nadli.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, I just initially couldn't hear so now I'm able to hear with my microphone. But I wanted to raise the questions regarding the community justice and policing. I'm quite disappointed in terms of the preamble that outlines the infrastructure and the budgets for 2016-17 make references to 2017-18. It doesn't make mention of the New Day Programs, so I wanted to ask the Minister if he could give us a status of the New Day Program and where it's at and where it's going? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Nadli. Mr. Minister, if you want to answer that question.

Yes, the New Day Program is not a capital project. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Minister for that clarification. Okay, that's not a capital purchase. I'll repeat again: total capital estimate for the Department of Justice $16,683,000. Does committee agree?

Agreed. Thank you, Minister Sebert. I see that we are concluded with Justice. We can carry on. Thanks to the witnesses for attending. Can the Sergeant-at-Arms escort the witnesses?

We will consider the Department of Education, Culture and Employment. Does the Minister Moses wish to bring in witnesses?

Yes, I do.

Sergeant-at-Arms, please escort the witnesses into the Chamber. Minister, please introduce your witnesses for the record.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. On my right I have deputy minister Sylvia Haener and my assistant deputy minister on my left, Olin Lovely.

Thank you. We shall start on page 9, Education, Culture and Employment. We will defer total until after consideration of activity summaries starting on page number 10. Education, Culture and Employment, education and culture, infrastructure investment, $14,454,000. Detail is on page 11. Questions? Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I'm going to talk about what's not here today on the Capital Plan listed on page 11, and that is the Capital Plan to construct a gymnasium and a couple of classes for the K’alemi Dene School in Ndilo. Mr. Chairman, my understanding is that the numbers at which the school becomes eligible for its own gymnasium is 125 students. I see that there's been some departure from that in the past, but I didn't know what the full capacity of some of these schools were at the time the gymnasiums were built. But the bottom line is that K’alemi Dene there is currently 117 students and the school has a full capacity of 121. Mr. Chairman, that is third highest percentage of all schools in the Northwest Territories, and projections indicate that the K’alemi Dene School will soon have 140 students within the next five years, so I want to ask the Minister what the plans are for expanding the school so that it sits within the correct enrolment percentages or capacity that's application to all schools across the territory, and if there is any contemplation by this department to build a gymnasium in Ndilo along with two additional classrooms that can accommodate the students in K’alemi Dene School. Marci cho, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Minister. Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I'm wondering if the Minister could give me a little more detail on the timing of what he had spoke about. Maybe the timing as to when we can expect to see this being contemplated through the Capital Planning Process or if it's already been contemplated through the Capital Planning Process. I don't know. So just a little more detail on the timing. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Mr. Minister, timing and schedule?

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and in the New Year we'll be starting to look at the planning study working with the Department of Public Works and Services. Coming out of that planning study, we're hoping to have something in the Capital Planning Budget for 2018-2019.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Mr. Beaulieu.

I have nothing further. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
