Thank you, Mr. Chair. On page 13, it talks about Charles Yohin School, home economics room. Could the Minister please elaborate further on this project? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Excuse me if I get the name wrong. The Charles Yohin School is going to have a complete redesign and renovation to the home economics room, including custom millwork and specialized appliances because they don't have the spaces currently. That's the plans. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. When they say "redesign and renovations," is the school classroom actually going to be renovated, or are they looking at adding an additional space to this facility? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It is not an addition; it is a renovation, a redesigning and renovation of the space that we have. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for that answer. Could the Minister commit to showing me the design? What I am looking at and what I visualize in the school, I don't know exactly what renovation is going to be happening. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We are focusing on home economics within this coming fiscal year, so we will be doing the same thing. The home economics room is going to get a complete redesign and renovation, including custom millwork and specialized appliances. The two schools are getting the exact same work. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. There seems to be some difference between the two projects. This one here, I am seeing it includes new lighting and sound system and ventilation. Can the Minister just confirm if that is actually happening in Echo Dene School? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, the Echo Dene School will be getting a major renovation of six stations to meet the National Building Code of Canada, as well as to enhance the home economics program offered at the school. Proper lighting will need to be planned and installed, which may require a new ceiling. The current soundproofing and insulation are likely insufficient for the redesigned space, so we will need to redo that. In a building of this age, abatement might be an issue, so we are looking at doing electrical and probably a new ceiling. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. I appreciate the clarification from the Minister. Can the Minister advise when these projects are going to be done? Is it going to be during the school year, or is it going to be focused this summer? Thank you.
