Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish to table the following document entitled "Government of the Northwest Territories Response to Committee Report 10-18(2) - Report on the Review of Bill 16, An Act to Amend the Education Act." Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We are going to be doing a technical status evaluation, and that is the first step. Then, once we get that evaluation, we will get the recommendations, and then that goes into our capital needs assessment. It is looked at priority from there.

The communities that have already applied for projects, we'll continue to support them. Obviously, we're creating employment, we're doing skill development, and we're doing job training, and we want to continue to support that with the communities that have applied for this program, and obviously the projects in the small communities will continue to get support from this fund.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, this is where the community learning centres would appear.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member is right; I don't have the exact numbers in front of me, but I can get that information and break it down by region for other Members who want to know how much of the Small Community Employment Fund was actually being utilized in their communities, and I'd be more than willing to share that with the Member. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The planning study itself will be in the 2018-2019 O and M budget. That is where you will see it. Thank you.

We're still getting the enrolment rates for junior kindergarten students, so we don't have an exact number. What we did look at, though, was every family was going to be saving anywhere from $8,000 to $12,000 a year, and that's what we've got now, but we don't have the full enrolment rates of junior kindergarten at this time.

Yes, that is correct, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am well aware of the feasibility study that was tabled in the House in the last government. We can put a link to that Tabled Document on our website. Thank you.

Thank you. Part of the school has been complete; as well, we are still utilizing the community learning centre. We just recently met with the staff as I mentioned, DCNE Infrastructure at the DEA, and we are continuing to update the community moving forward. Thank you.
