Statements in Debates
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I'm wondering, again, on those two same topics if the Minister could explain the estimated completion. One is 2023-2024 and one is 2019-2020. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That's all I have for this item. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I have a question for the Minister on the collection stations. The Minister mentioned that they're working for resolution on one of those. It's a positive thing. I would like to ask the Minister if there would be a small abattoir also included as part of the project for the collection station? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
[Translation] Thank you. I have two questions there. There's the aging in place program. Is the Minister willing to put more money into the aging in place program? [Translation ends]
Marsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I, too, would like to recognize Tishna Marlowe for receiving the Minister's Cultural and Heritage award. I'm sure Lutselk'e is very proud of Tishna. I had the pleasure of seeing one of her fashion shows, and they have the right to be proud.
I would also like to recognize Larry Purcka. Larry is a hardworking expert in highway construction, and was a major part of Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I move that the chair rise and report progress. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Marsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to do a bit of a eulogy on people that passed away this summer in Fort Resolution.
Mr. Speaker, on July 1, 2018, Carol Valette, wife to Frankie Beaulieu, passed away. Carol had an adoptive daughter, Tisha, and a stepdaughter named Joslyn, three granddaughters, and two grandsons. Carol was 69 years old. She was very well-liked by the community. She chose to make Fort Resolution her home when she moved there from Alberta.
On that same day, Mr. Speaker, the community lost a young man, Cameron Sayine Giroux. Cameron passed away that day, also, July...
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chairman, I don't know the age of the community learning centre in Ndilo, and I know it's old, but I do know approximately, I mean within a couple of years, how old the learning centre in Fort Resolution is, and my guess is that it's in excess of 50 years old. I used to serve at the settlement council office when I was a child, growing up in Fort Resolution. It's been renovated, and the walls are getting thicker all the time. This has received a considerable amount of renovation. There's no question about it. I think it's time to replace the building.
I would like to...
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, moving on to the second school, Kaw Tay Whee in Detah, my understanding from dealing with the leadership over there is that the department has requested that chief and council select a site, a potential location, for that new school. Being at that stage with the discussions between the department and the leadership, I'm wondering if the Minister could give me an indication of when that project might start. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I understand why it's being done, but I'm wondering if, inside the capital standards, the department is taking into account potential as we try to move into more employment-based communities, if inside the capital standards the department is looking at daycares? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
