Yes, that is covered in the new capital standards as well as when we do retrofits. So when we go in -- say a bathroom is in need of repair and we repair it, we also use that lens as well. Thank you.

Excellent. Thank you very much for that, Madam Chair. I think that's very important, and I'm happy to hear that the department has incorporated that.
My next question is in regards to Mangilaluk School, which is a major project up in the Beaufort Delta, and it says that the estimated completion date is 2023-2024. And so is it September of 2024 that is anticipated that students will first start school in that new school? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. So that's good to hear, and I know that I've heard from people in Tuktoyaktuk that are very excited for that opening as I know that my colleague from Nunakput is as well. Given that that project was originally awarded long before the pandemic and long before inflation and the rest of it, has there been significant budgetary changes to that project? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. There was some -- at the -- before groundbreaking and the awarding of the initial construction contract, there were some scope reductions that were taking place to ensure that the project was brought within budget. As the project has moved along, there have also been a couple of other revisions, kind of really derived from the pandemic and global supply chain management. So, for instance, one of them was the steel for trusses in the gym. We were unable to procure the steel in time, and it would have provided a ten-month delay to the project. By the contractor going back and working with the design team, a new replacement was come up with, or a new design was come up using wood trusses, which reduced that delay by five months. So we've seen little things like that, some adjustments, as we move along. But the majority of the contracts, things were in place prior to seeing the extreme shocks resulting from the pandemic. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. So just so that I understand so there was scope reductions and revisions to the design made in order to keep it on budget, or has there been a budgetary change to this project? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I'm wondering within scope reductions is there anything in addition to things like changes from steel to wood for trusses, was there actual changes or loss to the community of what they will be receiving within the envelope of that school? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So some of the types of things that were adjusted as part of the initial rescoping during the tendering process were things like door canopies, an outdoor fire pit, some changes to the parking lot design, some exterior railings, things like that, a stage curtain was removed, some roof lanterns, some metal cladding, things of this nature, really, so things that are cosmetic but not primary to the delivery of the education program. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. And thank you to the ECE staff and Minister for that.
As far as Chief Jimmy Bruneau School and Colville Lake school, which are both in planning phases, when can we expect to see the transition from planning phase to building phase within the capital acquisition plan? Thank you.

Thank you. So we're approaching these projects in a much different way than has been done traditionally. And we're not even approaching them each the same; they're each different in their own ways. And that answer really depends upon our partners, so the Tlicho government and the band in Colville Lake so I don't have an answer. We are trying this new way of doing things, and it's going to take longer than it normally would, and it normally takes quite a while to get a school off the ground and built and opened. So unfortunately I don't have a solid date. Thank you.
