Thank you, Mr. Chair. Okay, I know that we've been talking about this for quite some time, and the local leaders and Tlicho government have been talking about it too as well. So Behchoko's school planning, you know, it says planning for Behchoko school and estimated completion date or time within completion is 2025-2026. So I just wanted to ask the Minister where it's at with the planning at the moment? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So the estimated completion is for that portion that has been funded which is the planning -- the preliminary planning portion and so not the entire school build. So I just want to make sure that we're all on the same page there.
So when we recently went to Ottawa, I had the opportunity to join the Tlicho government with meeting with federal representatives and federal minister in order to sit down and discuss what it is that the Tlicho government are asking for. As the GNWT, we are certainly in support of the efforts of the Tlicho government to relocate Chief Jimmy Bruneau School to Behchoko and want to ensure that we are working closely with Tlicho government in supporting their timeframe and also supporting their desire for what they'd like to see in this new structure. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, I know that, you know, we need the new school and we've said it many times. And so I am glad that, you know, it looks like the Minister is working well with the Tlicho government so -- which is, you know -- I am very -- you know, I appreciate that. So -- and which is, you know, we need -- we need a good working relationship with them to move forward on this project. And so I'll leave it at that.
But there is another one here too, because we're still planning -- in the planning stage and, you know, we still have quite a ways to go and we know what to do in the communities, and the community government knows what to do to move forward on this too by, you know, doing the subdivision in Behchoko.
So Jean Wetrade Gameti school, it's a beautiful school. You know, it's a beautiful facility in a beautiful little community, you know. So it says here school perimeter fence. So is there a timeline of when this project will be completed? Because I know there was a concern before where some of the young people, they walk to school, you know, in a -- during the school year so they were concerned about a lot of other issues too as well, you know, for the safety of the kids. So when will that project be completed? Thank you.

Thank you. Menzi Community School was on the book last time, and it's not listed as a project listing now. What happened to it; why it's not on this? Because it was on it the last time but it's not on there anymore, so I just wanted to know what happened for the same thing. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we've learned from since -- as the assistant deputy minister informed the House, this process starts well in advance of us sitting here today and so there is quite a bit of lead time. And the school in Fort Providence has informed us that, in fact, they do not need the fencing that was previously identified. And so those dollars have actually -- and the Member, as well as yourself, Mr. Chair, will probably go back to your computers this evening and find an email from myself that was sent earlier today. But those dollars are looking to be reallocated to another school in the territory as those dollars have been identified as no longer being needed by the school. Thank you.
