Question 354-20(1): Aurora College Site Selection

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for the opportunity to ask a second round of questions to the Minister of ECE. Will the Minister work with the board, the college board, to conduct a robust public consultation process for site selection? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Member from Great Slave. Minister of Education, Culture and Employment.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'm always happy to respond to the board anytime they reach out to me. It would certainly depend on whether or not the board was welcoming of that but I will support the board any way that I can and any way that, you know, works well for us. But I certainly can't dictate to the board how they choose to do their operations. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister make the technical report she spoke of earlier today publicly available? There are members in the community who would like to review them. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I know that some form of report from the environmental site assessments will be made public, and I look forward to ensuring that I share that with the Member once it is out there.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can specifically the scientific reports be made publicly available? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I will have to check in with the department that actually owns those reports. It is not ECE that owns those reports at the end of the day. Thank you.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. Final supplementary. Member from Great Slave.

Thanks, Mr. Speaker. I don't know how many ways to ask it, so I'll pass along.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Nothing further.
