Marsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Yesterday, I highlighted some new infrastructure projects that have recently been built within the riding of Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh. On the same token, I would like to share with you today some future infrastructure the riding will need in the years to come.

Mr. Speaker, the community of Detah has never had a new school building before. In 1969, the government placed a few portable classrooms together and called it a school. Then, 20 years later, they added a few more portables, along with some renovations along the way. It's a school for Detah students. If you ask me, Mr. Speaker, I would say Detah is in dire need of a new school. The school is such an important aspect of their community. In this day and age, students need pride in the schools they attend.

Similarly, Mr. Speaker, the community of Ndilo is also in need of improved public infrastructure. In 2009, the GNWT constructed the Kalemi Dene School. While the facility has served that community well, it is now in need of additional classroom space and a gymnasium. Specifically, they are asking for two more classrooms to be built in order to accommodate for shortages in their existing school space, along with a gym to put them on even ground with other schools in Yellowknife.

Mr. Speaker, both communities of Detah and Ndilo are in need of adequately sized gymnasiums. Currently, both of these communities have a community hall which is used as a gym. They both have outgrown the facilities. Their rising populations will further necessitate the need for that infrastructure. Detah, in particular, is hurting at this front. The Kaw Tay Whee students would need to commute to Yellowknife just to participate in sporting activities. For most of the school year, the logistics of the Detah students coming to Yellowknife to gym is not feasible.

Lastly, Mr. Speaker, the community of Lutselk'e is in need of a new health centre. I know it's in the works. However, there have been projects in larger communities like Yellowknife, Hay River, and Inuvik that get approved while Lutselk'e people wait. It is the mandate of this government to put employment where employment is needed most.

Mr. Speaker, I seek unanimous consent to continue my statement.
