Question 89-15(5): Status Of Technical And Functional Review Of Diamond Jenness School In Hay River

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions today are for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, the Honourable Charles Dent. Mr. Dent wrote a letter to Mr. Roland subsequent to our budget session. I had inquired about the status of the Diamond Jenness Secondary School in Hay River and had asked if the functional report technical review that was done in 2003 could be updated. So Mr. Dent wrote to Mr. Roland asking that this happen. I was just wondering what is the status of that technical and functional review of the Diamond Jenness Secondary School today? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. The honourable Minister responsible for Education, Culture and Employment, Mr. Dent.

Return To Question 89-15(5): Status Of Technical And Functional Review Of Diamond Jenness School In Hay River

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I haven’t received a reply yet from Public Works and Services advising us as to the condition of the school. I’m certain that they will be looking at it or have looked at it, but we haven’t received the report yet. Thank you.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Supplementary, Mrs. Groenewegen.

Supplementary To Question 89-15(5): Status Of Technical And Functional Review Of Diamond Jenness School In Hay River

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my information is that Public Works and Services in fact has not undertaken a review of the condition of the Diamond Jenness Secondary School, and given our very extensive debate in this House yesterday over leaving these things to the last minute and then being forced into stop-gap measures at a very high price, I would think that it would be prudent of the Minister to follow up with the Minister of PWS again and ensure that this review gets taken, gets undertaken forthwith. Will the Minister commit to that? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. Mr. Dent.

Further Return To Question 89-15(5): Status Of Technical And Functional Review Of Diamond Jenness School In Hay River

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The answer is yes.
