Ok. Going to be a fourplex design for elders facilities so we could take our loved ones back home to the community and watch them ourselves and having local people being able to like, it's a level two I don't know, Madam Chair, in regards to being able to wash them. You know, wash them and take care of them, feed them, and work with the community corporation to provide jobs through the community to take care of our own. And are they interested, are they able to do this and entertain? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you. Thank you, Madam Chair. In regards for the timeline though, the timeline and so if somebody came forward, wanted their unit, are we looking at six months? And like what's that really tight timeline because I do have constituents that want to come on the program but they're you know, they're kind of tired of waiting. But I just want to see, and then the forgiveness part. And you got a minute, 47 seconds so be brief as possible because I got one more question. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Are these units any single dwelling units that people that are living in right now are eligible for this program? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you. Thank you, Madam Chair. Thanks for that, Minister, deputy. But the question is for that program I guess, when it's being sold or given to them, is it under the means of them taking over the power, the water, everything like that, and it's going to be given like, after so many years, given to them at no cost? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to thank that. I just want to really emphasize that any meetings like that that are being attended, you know, just to let this side of the House know, and please let us know on this side of the House in regards to any meetings like that where it's happening in our back door where we live and where we're born and raised. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, when the Arctic Council resumes meetings, when will that be on a timeline on a go forward? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's an honour for me to welcome Mr. Senator Dennis Patterson into the House. I remember him visiting my father Jimmy Jacobson when I was a young boy in Tuk. Welcome to the House, Dennis. It's always good seeing you.

And I'd also like to welcome Denise Voudrach, patient advocate for the Beaufort Delta. Welcome, and I'm looking forward to letting you do all the good work that you're going to do for the people. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. No, Madam Minister, like in regards to community corporations and stuff like that, I know that the department's really interested and keen on working together with local community governments in regards to builds. I'm really pushing for my Ulukhaktok and Paulatuk elders’ facilities. I've been working on this since 2007, and I'm really tired of seeing my elders in Inuvik hospital and away from family and not seen and just like they're put on a shelf. And I'm really hoping that we could try to work together with privatepublic partnership to build these units on a...

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, no, I agree with the Minister in regards like that. I mean, the fuel prices are just going up and it's going to inflation going up all over in regards to the cost of living. But how long are you expecting now, once a person comes to you, and like what's the timeline that through your department, what would you like to see on a timeline for approvals? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Madam Chair, no. Just in regards to that, I mean, myself and the Minister, we've been going back and forth for the last two years in regards to something like this. The program was given the house was given to the constituent and stuff like that and then next thing you know I said, well, house is given to them; don't have to pay rent? It's given to you, and it's I guess the I thought it would be forgiven. But all this time it was they still had to pay back the debt that was owed but it was our fault as I mean, the corporation's fault for letting them wait two years, two and a half years...
