Mahsi, Mr. Chair. When I referred to the ’14-15 capital planning process, that’s for Mildred Hall. The other one is still in the planning stages with a study and also an education plan. We will be taking forward those plans, once it’s completed, for the capital planning process.

The recommendation did come from the general public, the students, the parents. It is public information as well. Once I get the overall review, then we can potentially table the document so that it can be opened to the general public.

In my language will be [English translation not provided], meaning that we have to take certain steps towards this. It is in the works with the Early Childhood Development Framework. That is the start for us. We’re thinking long-term universal, and that could be the end goal, but we have to take baby steps, as well, towards this framework that’s before us. We need to finalize that with the input across the Northwest Territories. We’re going to be consulting with stakeholders and we will be listening to those experts on how we can start implementing this framework. We are working towards that...

Mr. Speaker, as I indicated, the capital infrastructure comes on an annual basis. We can definitely discuss it. This is an area that we will continue to push forward in a small community. Depending on the size, again, it is a standard and criteria that is before us based on 61 percent capacity. I will be visiting the community of Trout Lake and see for myself, as well and other small communities, what could be done to expedite the process. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

This position or project came into play and has been very unique the way it’s been approached by the Children First Society. It has been in the works for the last four or five years now, or even longer before that, with the committee. They’ve initiated their discussion with the community and the leadership got involved.

It’s similar to what we’ve done here in Yellowknife area with Betty House and the dementia centre, just to name a few. We were in a position to make a decision for 90-plus children in a centre and this should be a good-news item for the Northwest Territories, with a contribution...

Mr. Speaker, that is part of the long-term plan. The Member alluded to 2018-19; it could be sooner. It all depends on the situation in the communities. We are not excluding those regional, small, isolated communities. We have to treat all the schools the same. It is all based on criteria as well. We need to follow that. That is our Government of the Northwest Territories criteria and standards that we are following. We cannot break those rules.

This is an issue that we have encountered in the past where there is capital infrastructure that happens every year. These discussions happen on a...

Mahsi, Madam Chair. I’ll just, again, thank the Member and also thank the community of Inuvik for their commitment and dedication towards this project. So, mahsi.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. The Charles Tetcho School in Trout Lake fits the criteria that we have right now. That is the NWT Schools Capital Standards and Criteria of maximum capacity with the 33 capacity within that school. Right now it is at 61 percent. As the Member indicated, 19 for 2011-12, so the school does meet the approved standard for classroom space and size. That is what we have currently, but the Member raised the issue on numerous occasions. I did address it with my department, how we can look into those areas of small community schools, distraction and so forth. We are looking into...

We can provide a detailed briefing or briefing materials to the Member if that is the wish. Mahsi.

Mahsi, Madam Chair. As the Member of this House clearly stated, early childhood development is very critical, an important piece of work that’s before us and an important matter for the entire community to adopt as a priority. As you are aware, the responsibility for proper care for children not only falls on government but also the entire community. It’s a shared responsibility. It is, therefore, very encouraging to see this principle and collaboration of action with the town of Inuvik, where the entire community rallied for the costs and came out with 80 percent of the costs for building a...
