Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I see that this section includes the money for the portables at Ecole St. Joseph, and my question is: given the timing of this appropriation and the timing of the need for these portables, will they be in place by the start of the new school year? Does the Minister know? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I just want to clarify the designated $1.5 million for the portables. Is that for two portables? Thank you.

Thank you. I invite the Minister to direct questions to his fellow Ministers if he so sees fit and if they agree with answering, but I will ask Minister McLeod.

I believe there are four portables, but I will confirm that. I believe it is four portables. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, I am just trying to understand. There are four portables. Likely they will be, as the Minister stated, available by September 2019.
There will be a construction period. I am just trying to understand: once construction is complete, will there be an effort to demobilize the portables? Is there a process in place of, perhaps, ECE passing it on to Public Works and Services, and would they, at some point, be reallocated to another construction site? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, if you want to come through me to redirect the question, I can do that. Thank you. If I can redirect it to Minister Cochrane? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The portables that are coming in actually will be retained by the Department of Education, Culture and Employment. In previous years, we bought portables and we gave them to the school authorities, and then it was hard to transfer them.
They will be used for the school that will be replaced. It will be a couple of years, and then, at that time, we will be determining the best usage for them. At this point, we are not handing them over to Infrastructure. They will stay as assets for the Department of Education, Culture and Employment to be used where needed. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I admit it seems like a long-term question, but I have to ask: if the construction is completed for Yellowknife, would those portables possibly be available for the outlying communities, like Fort Providence? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the answer is yes, they would be. If they are not needed in the capital, then there would be an opportunity. If they are needed in other communities, then they would be available. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
