Thank you, Madam Chair. We don't talk about the Inuvik Campus much so I'll ask a question or two. Firstly, can the Minister remind me how much federal money is in the Western Arctic Research Centre warehouse replacement here? Thank you

Thank you, Madam Chair. So the $2.53 million that you'll see under the 2022-2023 Capital Estimates is federal money, it came from CIRNAC. The $3.5 million that you see under 2023-2024 is a GNWT investment in the project. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess, I believe this building is already under construction as we speak. Can I just -- are we on track? When do we expect it to be complete? Thank you

Thank you so the work is being done at the site but I don't believe the project's been tendered yet. We're expecting it in fiscal year 2024-2025 to be completed. Thank you

Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. I guess my next question is, you know, we're looking at labour and development advanced education here. There's $3.5 million this year for Inuvik Campus. That's good. But, you know, we have released a facilities master plan -- or I forget what we called it, for Aurora College. There's hundreds of millions of dollars of work to be done. I'm not seeing that here.
I guess, can the Minister provide us a bit of an update on when he expects to see some other Aurora College projects go first. And I believe first on that list is replacing one of the day schools in Fort Smith. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you I think the Member was referencing the residential school residence in Fort Smith, not a day school. So we are engaging with the federal government to try and find some funds to make these projects a reality. I'm heading to Ottawa in a few weeks to have discussions with a number of Ministers. So I don't have a date yet because we don't have the money yet. Development of these facilities is highly dependent upon federal funding. Thank you
