Statements in Debates
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I believe you didn’t do the Red Cross.
Mr. Speaker, in 2019 the school will be 50 years old. I would like to ask the department, will the department replace Moose Kerr School? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Mr. Speaker, also in my statement I mentioned that in 2019 there will be either a replacement or a renovation of the school, so I would like to ask the Minister…
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Last week I spoke about the timeline for replacing Moose Kerr School in Aklavik. Moose Kerr School was constructed in 1969, exactly the same time as Samuel Hearne Secondary School that was built in Inuvik and now replaced.
My constituents would like to know why Moose Kerr School is still standing. At 45 years old it’s overdue for replacement. I believe that Moose Kerr School is the oldest school in this territory at the moment.
The Minister of Education stated last week that Moose Kerr School is slated for replacement or renovation in 2019. That is five years from now...
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think we could learn something from the Housing department that was going to renovate the Joe Greenland Centre and ended up replacing it.
Will the Minister make sure that the Moose Kerr School is on the red flag list? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will start again. In my statement I mentioned that in 2019 the school will either be renovated or replaced. I would like to ask the Minister, will the price to renovate Moose Kerr School in 2019 be close to the cost of a new facility? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have some questions for the Minister of Public Works and Services. It has to do with my Member’s statement here today.
I would like to ask the Minister, has there been any action to address the traffic and parking concerns raised at the Moose Kerr School? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
For a minute there, I thought they were going to replace both those buildings.
Just on another note, it has to do with forestry as well. Two of the communities, Fort McPherson and Tsiigehtchic, are looking to do some preparation around the communities in the way of firebreaks. Both communities are in line with the forest and we need to ensure there’s some kind of break in case of a major forest fire.
Would the Minister be willing to work with the communities to ensure that happens? Thank you.
Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Thursday, March 6, 2014, I will move that Bill 18, An Act to Amend the Legislative Assembly and Executive Council Act, be read for the first time.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In January the Minister of Transportation accompanied me on a tour of the Mackenzie Delta and while we were in Tsiigehtchic the community asked a question to the department, so I’d like to also ask the same question to the Minister.
Has the department considered starting at 8:00 a.m. until midnight as suggested by the community of Tsiigehtchic?
