Thanks for that explanation. I imagine those would be fairly old. I wonder how frequently they’re replaced and I suspect there are a lot more efficient generators out there now. Do we have any information handy on the efficiency of the new generators compared to the old? Thank you.

Thanks to the Minister for those remarks. I realize there are areas that we can’t delve into. However, I do believe there is full agreement that pain is to be compensated and that the policy needs to be written first. That is what my inquiry is. I think that is out front and clearly public. It sounds like, from the Minister’s response, that hasn’t been done yet.

I’m wondering if the Minister can say when we can expect completion and introduction of that new standard, and when it will be rolled out to apply to all new claims for injury compensation.

That’s all. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I will follow up on my remarks yesterday about Weledeh small businesses with a specific example of Weledeh enterprise and success.

From his home workshop in Detah, David Giroux is the owner, inventor, manufacturer, marketer and driving force behind Arctic Fire Stoves. The stoves are constructed of recycled fuel drums and salvaged steel, an environmentally sound repurposing of existing materials. This is the Cadillac of barrel stoves, and experienced people say they have never seen anything like them. It is the only model that can be used for heating as an oven, a...

Thanks for those details. Is this something we do on regular intervals? How long does this last? Has there been any change in the longevity of the efficiency or the resilience of this treatment?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The advanced education went by so fast I just wanted to ask a quick question with respect to Aurora College. I understand for the Yellowknife Campus – I think we asked this last year – that we’re running out on the lease. Has that been renewed? Where are we at with that and what’s the thinking on providing a new campus for Aurora College in Yellowknife? Thank you.

Thank you for that information and I appreciate the Minister’s comments there. I wonder if he could provide committee with the policy that you have on this sort of business where we seek resources or permit or partner with DEAs such as those going out to private enterprise for support for public infrastructure.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’d like to ask a question about the Kaw Tay Whee School. I know the Minister was able to get some work done on that school, but obviously our enrolment is increasing quite a bit. There’s some very good leading taking place there, but they’re finding it more and more challenging in the space available, to the point where the community has gone to private enterprise and sought help in building an appropriate school facility. It just seems a little bit piecemeal and, obviously, that should be the responsibility of public funds. Can the Minister give me an update on where we...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So we completed the technical and operational. We are now in block planning. I am not familiar with that term, but I am assuming it has something to do with the layout of where particular aspects of medical care are delivered that are related to each other and so on in the hospital. Was it a Class B design? I missed the letter on the class of design where we are at. I understand we are looking for a Class B estimate. Maybe they are different before we go ahead.

The last part that I am a little bit unsure of is the intent for the following year to actually start...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just had a couple of questions on the plans for Stanton Territorial Hospital. This is my sixth year as MLA and we have been planning for this facility every year that I have been here. I am wondering what exactly we are proposing to plan in 2013-14, our sixth year of planning. What plans are completed? What plans are left yet to be done before we actually start to put boots on the ground to give this really keystone health facility for the NWT health system the comprehensive renovation that it so clearly and desperately needs? Thank you.
