Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, this project within Sir John Franklin High School is a boiler replacement. The current system within Sir John Franklin is a hybrid system that has both a biomass boiler and a conventional boiler, and this specific project replaces the conventional boiler. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, those were the priorities as identified by Aurora College for housing within their envelope of housing. What I believe that the Member is referring to is the facility's master plan. And the department has included the facility's master plan in its 20-year capital needs assessment and have also ensured that they have put this funding plan forward to the federal government and shared it with them, and the GNWT will continue to work alongside Aurora College on their capital needs as they do come up in their transformation plans. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, again, let me direct that one over to assistant deputy minister MacKay, please.

I do.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I don't have the historical information on that project, but I'd be very happy to get that for the Member and bring it back.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this is certainly a cornerstone of the new federal agreement that is really focusing on ensuring that we're offering, in the Northwest Territories, quality child care that involves best practices and also includes professional development for the people providing those programs so that they have that toolbox behind them. So right now, ECE has developed the fundamentals of early learning and child care workshops. These will be available online starting in 2025, and they include early brain development and language learning as well as the best practices for...

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So the estimated completion is for that portion that has been funded which is the planning -- the preliminary planning portion and so not the entire school build. So I just want to make sure that we're all on the same page there.

So when we recently went to Ottawa, I had the opportunity to join the Tlicho government with meeting with federal representatives and federal minister in order to sit down and discuss what it is that the Tlicho government are asking for. As the GNWT, we are certainly in support of the efforts of the Tlicho government to relocate Chief...

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. And thank you to the Member for their statement on the good work of the NWT Literacy Council.

The Department of Education, Culture and Employment really works closely and relies on the good work of NGOs and community organizations to do a lot of this work. And so approximately $900,000 in funding is provided to the NWT Literacy Council to support adult, youth, and family literacy initiatives, and a lot of these programs include capacity building and developing family centered community-based programs. In addition to that, Mr. Speaker, there's also the Community...

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, there is a -- so this bleeds into Infrastructure as well. So the assets are actually owned and maintained by the Department of Infrastructure and then we work together on ensuring that they are cared for and the communication between education bodies and infrastructure and ECE is all a bit of a team approach to it. So we do have a list of schools across the territory and we do have -- and I know -- what does FCI stand for, sorry? Thank you. Facility condition index. This is the problem when you speak in acronyms all the time. Sometimes you forget what...

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, with all of our mining projects -- well, our diamond mining projects, we do have socio-economic agreements which in them do contain northern employment goals in them. So that is baked in to a lot of what we do in the territory. And it is always our goal to ensure that our industry in the Northwest Territories is serving and benefitting Northerners. Thank you.
