QUESTION 79-16(6): DECLARING THE RESIDENCE OF BERN WILL BROWN AS A CANADIAN HISTORICAL SITE
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Deputy Premier. Mr. Speaker, I want to ask the Deputy Premier if he would work with me to take up the initiative to declare a Canadian historical site in Colville Lake to the log buildings that Bern Will Brown built so that they would be looked after by this society.
Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. The honourable Deputy Premier, Mr. Miltenberger.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’m not aware of any process to do that. I understand, as well, that Mr. Brown is still half way residing there. Thank you.
Mr. Speaker, I want to ask the Minister again, Mr. Brown has written to me and he’s asking me to urge this government here to consider helping him, along with myself -- I support him -- to look at declaring the facilities that he has built in Colville Lake as a Canadian historical site. He is afraid that these buildings won’t be maintained once he’s passed on to the other world. At this stage we’re asking if this government will look at an initiative like this to bring to the federal government’s attention.
I’m not familiar with that request and I’ll have to do some work to find out what exactly the status is, so I will take that question as notice.
