Statements in Debates
I know from personal experience that we have had public safety officers with the Workers’ Safety and Compensation Commission called in by either the teachers or the principals where we had a backup of the sewer system. You had, basically, a puncture of a ceiling; they see something seeping out of the walls.
In order to get attention to this problem, it seems like it has to go public, and I don’t think that should be the case. If we as the government are responsible for the quality and the safety of our residents, and more importantly the children in our schools, this should be an assessment...
Mrs. Groenewegen.
Mr. Speaker.
Mr. Aumond.
I’d like to know exactly — looking at the five year, ten year, 15 year capital plans — where there are going to be major improvements on the existing schools. I’ll use my riding, for instance, in regard to either replacement upgrades or total replacement. I know the Moose Kerr School is scheduled for 2014–15, but I probably won’t be here.
I think it’s important that the community is aware that you can cope only so long. I think there is a point when communities want to know they are not going to be delayed, delayed, delayed to a point where they have to condemn schools or shut schools down...
Dealing with the next department, Public Works and Services,
I can refer you to page 4-4. Public Works and Services, Activity Summary, Asset Management, Infrastructure Investment Summary, Total Infrastructure Investment Summary: $17.22 million. Mr. Bromley.
The Minister of Finance.
I call Committee of the Whole to order. Consideration in Committee of the Whole of bills and other matters, Minister’s Statement, sessional statement; Tabled Document 93-16(2); Bill 15. What is the wish of the committee? Mr. Ramsay.
At the appropriate time, Mr. Chair, I would like to move a motion to defer this project.
Minister of Health and Social Services, Ms. Lee.
