Thank you, Mr. Chair. We are continuing to work with the leadership in Ndilo to look at addressing it. As the Member knows, we do have a lot of infrastructure projects within the department, community learning centres, schools. We always review our 20-year capital needs assessment, and sometimes things get put off and then some other things take priority year after year, but we are continuing to work with the leadership on addressing that.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I am wondering if there was any sort of schedule. Whether we are adhering strictly to the schedule or not, I just want to ask the Minister if there was any sort of schedule at all, whether it be a very hard schedule or a soft schedule, any kind of schedule at all, for the adult learning centre in Ndilo. Thank you, Mr. Chair

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We are going to be doing a technical status evaluation, and that is the first step. Then, once we get that evaluation, we will get the recommendations, and then that goes into our capital needs assessment. It is looked at priority from there.
