Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for that commitment to get that clarified. The other one is Charles Tetcho School, the addition here I did speak to when we had the briefing this morning. I noticed that it's an $891,000 carry-over. Is that information available, or is that something that we can get later on? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. On page 11, we see an increase of $344,000 for the Fort Liard Ferry. Could the Minister explain how this increase came about? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In there, on the line, it talks about junior kindergarten upgrades, various, at about $177,000. Looking through the notes, Fort Liard School, there was a carry-over. Could the Minister explain what the carry-over was? It talked about the washroom being done, but there seems to be this huge amount of carry-over presently. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for that answer. Later on, can I get an update on why this carry-over had to occur, why the project wasn't done, so when people ask the questions I know I can give them the answers? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for that. That clears things up a little bit better. I guess my question, though, is: because we have seen this huge number of a carry-over, do you guys track the reasons why we have these carry-overs? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That information that you just gave to us, that's the work that's going to be done this fiscal year? The carry-over from the $1.2 million? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I understand what the Minister has said, and I thank her for that. I know the reality. I was there when they built it. It was a community hall, and they expanded it to make it a "community gym." It's not a community gym. It's a large meeting room. So, the Minister, I know she is really busy because of a lot of work that she has to do over this summer. Is she willing to work with me to go into the community, have a sit-down with the community, discuss it, see for herself what the community is talking about, and see what the department is calling a gym right now? Will...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. On page 14, we are talking about Highway No. 1 reconstruction, various. What sections of the highway were not completed? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I thank the Minister for that answer. I realize she wasn't the one in there, but my big problem is that the community was promised to have some alternatives in the expansion. We will probably have to disagree with that, and we will probably have to try to get the Minister in there.

My next question, though, is in regard to this. Without having a good gym in this community, we have a safety issue. How is the department working with the community and the school to ensure that they have quality and safe education programs in the school?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have nothing further to add to this at this time, but I wish to have a recorded vote. Thank you.
