I appreciate the Minister’s response. Does he have a date in mind when he will be able to share this directive or the report or whatever with the Commission scolaire?

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. The Fisheries Act is an important piece of federal legislation. I am glad there is going to be some changes, perhaps a need to that. I am talking about the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act and this federal review of environmental assessment processes and how the North has been excluded. I am wondering if I can get a commitment out of the Minister to write to the federal Minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada and seek a firm timeline for repealing those changes to Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act and some way for us, as Northerners, to be involved...

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I’m just trying to understand the mechanism. If the department wanted to move forward with expansion of the school in 201617, would that have to be done through another supplementary appropriation? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I’m just looking under Education and Culture, I’m just wondering if there’s any funding? Or how would the expansion of Ecole Allain StCyr be funded, presumably not through this supplementary estimate? Thanks, Mr. Chair.
