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.

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.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This past fall was the first time the Department of Transportation extended the ferry service in Tsiigehtchic. I’d like to ask the Minister of Transportation, when will the work begin to repair the Louis Cardinal ferry for service in June? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. There’s a lot of good discussion here on management with the wildlife. I just wanted to share a few things. I fully know what the department is working with. I had some experience with the Porcupine Caribou Management Board a few years back. I think that we need to do the same sort of procedure as what the Porcupine Caribou Management Board has done, was develop an actual plan for these herds in our area here.
