Thanks, Mr. Chair. Yesterday in the House I tabled a letter from APADY, which is the Francophone Rights Holders Parents' Association of Yellowknife. Their position is that they haven't been adequately consulted on a proposal going into Heritage Canada to provide for additional funds for the expansion Ecole Allain St-Cyr. So I just want to get a commitment from the Minister that there's going to be closer collaboration with APADY and the French school board in finalizing whatever proposals get sent to Heritage Canada? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I think the Minister of Education has committed to working closely with this group, so I will make a commitment from this table as well.

Sorry, Mr. Chair, I didn't have my earphone in, so I couldn't actually hear the response. If the Minister wouldn't mind telling me again? I've got my earphone on this time. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I said the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment has committed to working with this group as they go forward with this project, and I will make that commitment from this table as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you very much. I haven't forgotten about what I've asked, so I'll continue on it, but I do appreciate the commitment from both Ministers. I'll be happy to work with them to try to move that along, because at the end of the day it will save us money. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I noted in the Minister's opening remarks that the Stanton Territorial Hospital Renewal Project is on budget. Can you confirm for me that the schedule's still in place, on time, and so on? I know I asked this yesterday of the Minister of Health, but I think he was bringing forward a budget for long-term care related to Stanton, and this time I just want to know if the renewal project itself is still on time? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that response; good to hear that. But because we're sort of forwarding money here, and I guess this is in response to work that's already been done and invoices or whatever that have been submitted by contractors, are we actually ahead of schedule? Is that where we're at? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So the project is not ahead of schedule it's just on time per the schedule that was provided for during the procurement process by the successful proponent, Boreal Health Partnership. When the government first procured -- were investigating and preparing the project, we were anticipating a five-year construction period. Boreal came back with a four-year construction period, and now we're just adjusting our cash flows to match that construction period. Thank you.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Yes, that helps clarify this for me why we're moving money forward for the project. I appreciate that response. Thank you.
