Thank you, Mr. Speaker. [Translation] INSERT* [Translation Ends] Mr. Speaker. On June the 8th, I had the privilege of joining Premier R.J. Simpson, Minister Cleveland, and Minister McKay on a visit to the community of Colville Lake where we met with Chief Shawn and the Council of Behdzi Ahda' Firstf Nation. This visit marked an important milestone for the community. Together we signed a work plan that sets out clear timelines and steps towards building a new junior kindergarten to grade 12 school in the community.
This work plan represents more than just a document, Mr. Speaker. It represents accountability, partnership, and a shared commitment between the Behdzi Ahda' First Nation and the Government of Northwest Territories.
Mr. Speaker, our time in the community was focused on listening to priorities, strengthening relationships. The new school will be more than just a learning centre. It will serve as a community hub, supporting culture, language revitalization, and student well-being for generations to come.
On the interim, Mr. Speaker, I am extremely pleased to report that the Colville Lake School three modulars complex arrived in the community this morning. The journey took 650 kilometers under very challenging seasonal winter road conditions for dimensional loads; a big mahsi to the Department of Infrastructure and the transportation crew. This proves a united approach proves successful and contributes to achieving education under successful modern interior conditions. Mr. Speaker, this defines collaboration when governments work together with First Nations. When departments coordinate effectively, we achieve meaningful results. Later I will have questions to the appropriate Minister. Mahsi.
