Mr. Speaker, Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) has identified the following properties for disposal in Fort Simpson: 9829-102 Street; 10110-99 Avenue; and 9817-101 Street.
As per the Treasury Board Directive on the Management of Real Property, a property identified for disposal is circulated through a formal process, granting priority to stakeholders to determine if they have interest in acquisition. During the circulation process, Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC) expressed interest in these units on behalf of local Indigenous groups, including the Liidlii Kue First Nation. PSPC is continuing to provide support to CIRNAC as it determines next steps for the release of the properties. Planning for the future of these assets, in collaboration with stakeholders, is ongoing and therefore Public Services and Procurement Canada is unable to respond to parts (b), (c) and (d) of the question.
