“Upgrades slated to be complete by 2026-27 The Education Department did not provide an update on which schools have been upgraded so far, or the timelines or cost estimates for the remaining planned upgrades. But as of October 2024, 14 systems had been installed, 15 projects were underway and expected to be completed this summer, while “additional projects” were in the design and planning phase. “The program will be completed as planned in the 2026-27 fiscal year,” a spokesperson said at the time.”

Traces of this promise can be found in the mandate letter addressed to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Gilles LePage. Mandate letters define ministerial objectives. Therefore, this promise remains an ongoing priority, and we will monitor its implementation.
