Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will follow your instructions. They will come through me, and I will direct it to the appropriate Minister through you. I would like to direct that to Minister Cochrane. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Diamond Jenness Secondary School gym door should be installed in the fall of 2019. That will be when it is completed. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Could the Minister elaborate on why it is costing us $26,000 to put in a door? What type of door are we putting in? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. When some of these projects were let out, I know that it says a door for $27,000, so automatically the question comes up: $27,000 for a door; is it made of gold? I have heard that statement before.

There are some other issues with it. There could be site prep. If the Member wants a detailed description of the work that is going to be done, I am assuming that there is going to be a ramp that will be done as well as part of that. I know that there is some cause for concern, but I can assure that we are not going to pay $27,000 to put in a solid door. There are some other issues that are involved with that.

I am not sure if the Minister of Infrastructure wanted to add on to that. Okay. Can I go through to the Minister of Infrastructure? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. When I answer this, we are going to get even more questions. The original intent was to install the door there, and the money was spent on the planning project. The project expanded to include a ramp, a door, and a mudroom now, for a total cost of $450,000, halted due to budget issues and to revise scope. ECE is adding small capital funding for 2019-2020. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Just to clarify, it is the door plus the structure stuff? Is that correct? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am looking at Mangilaluk School renovation and addition in Tuktoyaktuk for $561,000. I just want to hear a little bit on that. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. This is a multi-year project. The revised budget was $1.3 million. I think that there was an amount recommended of $561,000. That is what you have seen here. The construction contract is anticipated to be awarded in August-September 2019, and anticipated occupancy is summer-fall of 2021. Project end date is summer of 2022.

I believe that I did supply a bit more detail to committee during our deliberation of the supplementary estimates. Maybe committee can correct me if I am wrong, but I am pretty sure that I supplied a table to committee with some substantiation for many of the projects that we are debating today. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. There is $1,922,000 in junior kindergarten upgrades. We have had kids in junior kindergarten now for probably two or three years. I am just wondering why we are not able to spend this money so that the kids have proper facilities. We have had JK now for two or three years in some communities. What is going on? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My understanding is that a lot of this is for playground equipment. Again, my understanding is that a lot of this has been delivered to the communities, and work will commence during the summer season. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
