Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I want to follow up on the questions raised by the Member for Yellowknife Centre on the Aurora College transition.
In the media, it has been reported, there was a very prominent headline, it is a concern of my constituents that the transition has been paused. There is some confusion whether it is a pause, if it's a delay, if it's still ongoing. Yes, there's a new mandate letter coming, but what is the state right now and why are representatives of the leadership of the college start like saying that this is paused, this transition is paused? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. As acknowledged in this House before, there have been delays that are based delays based on the timeline that is published online for Aurora College. But as far as what other people are saying who aren't in this room and who have not communicated that to me personally, I would not be able to speak to. Thank you.

We don't want to wander in the wildness of opinions, but I am sure that the Minister can read headlines like the rest of us. The question is, does the Minister think that how does the Minister respond when the board is making those statements? Does she respond by calling them and saying what's going on; I'd just like to know how she's responding to this information that's out in the public and it's causing confusion. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as acknowledged previously, I did have the opportunity to listen to the same CBC radio interview which I believe is where that headline came from. What I did hear in that radio interview was an acknowledgement by the chair that the transformation has been delayed. And, Mr. Speaker, I continue to have said the same thing now for the entirety of this session on the floor of the House. Thank you.
