Statements in Debates
They’re not there.
I know that under one actual program and one planning document, in the 20-year assessment, there is a midlife retrofit scheduled for all of the buildings that belong to the GNWT, including the Deninu School and Lutselk’e. My first question is: what’s the plan for midlife retrofit in those two schools? If it’s occurred recently and I’m not familiar with it, then I’d like to know that as well. But, first of all, the midlife retrofit schedule for the Deninu Ku’e and Lutselk’e schools.
Mahsi cho, Mr. Chair. I’m just trying to get some information on the two schools in Tu Nedhe. I didn’t have an opportunity….
Mahsi cho, Mr. Chair. Just a quick question for the department or the Minister. I see that there is a plan to do some energy upgrades to camps. I’m assuming that’s just to make some of the equipment storage areas more energy efficient. I’m wondering if there is a plan to do an energy upgrade on the camp at Big Buffalo River.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’m listening to both sides of the discussion here today. I think that I’m surprised that there was no analysis done on what this could do to the market. If all of the office space currently in the communities is being utilized and this does not quit utilizing any of that office space, then I could see why this could be overlooked by government to not consider doing a market disruption analysis. However, I still feel that there is some sort of market analysis that has to be done, whether we script it as a market disruption analysis or not, some form of an analysis that...
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. First of all, looking at this capital plan, I’d like to thank the Department of Transportation for putting some money into Highway No. 6. I had an opportunity to discuss this budget, or the plan to put this money in, with the community of Fort Resolution. Highway No. 6 is the highway that goes from Hay River into Fort Resolution. It’s not right from Hay River but from what’s referred to as the Big Buffalo River camp into Fort Resolution, 90 kilometres of highway. For the most part, about 70 kilometres of this highway is in fairly decent shape. It’s not in good shape...
If market disruption is not an issue and the MLAs on this side of the House are indicating that there could be other priorities that we see because market disruption may be — from that type of evaluation — something that’s missing from this piece of the puzzle, would it be possible for the government to provide some comfort to the MLAs indicating that there is no market disruption? Maybe by getting the individual rental office space sector from Inuvik to indicate that this would not be an issue. I’m wondering if something like that could be easily attained.
I have a question on the demolition of the current structure where the planned office is being contemplated. I was wondering if there was some money put into the capital plan for, I believe, this fiscal year. I was wondering if the department could advise when the demolition will be completed and the land will be ready for a new structure to be put on it.
Okay. The office space that’s been used as the band office, where they have most of the community government…. I wonder if the deputy minister could advise me who owns the office space. Who is responsible for the maintenance on that building?
Mr. Chair, I’d just ask the department if I could get that information provided to me.
So as a result of technical assessment, the Deninu probably got scheduled for some deferred maintenance in ’09–10. Has Public Works completed a technical assessment of Lutselk’e school in this go-round? I know the deputy minister advised me just now that there has been some major work done, but I’m just wondering if there was a technical assessment done on that school as well.
