Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Thank you. That money is divided between the disabilities council to provide communitybased respite services and Inclusion NWT to provide respite services in Yellowknife. So the money is directed to nonprofit organizations with subject matter expertise to expand on. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the point of having the LPN program there is to provide a local workforce for the functions of that particular job. While I don't have exact timing for when their process will be complete, it's my expectation that it will be complete in time to offer the LPNs work in the NWT. We need them. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'll ask the deputy minister to respond.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Yes, thank you. We're waiting for some modifications that were required before we take the keys, which we expect to do this spring. Then they'll be a commissioning period and a period where people and equipment is moved in to the building to make it operational. And at that point, the public will be welcomed in to the building. That's why we're saying summer. There are some loose ends around exactly what amount of time is allocated to each of those activities. I think that once we obtain the keys to the building and begin the commissioning, we'll be in a better position to identify a moving in...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Yes, thank you. I think that the best idea is to have the Member look in the annual report which, for NTHSSA, was tabled last fall, and there would be a breakdown in there. And if he requires additional information, please go ahead and ask me again. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Yes, thank you. All of these funds are prioritized for Indigenous governments. They have five months to put in their application from the beginning of the fiscal year. And if they haven't applied at that point, then the fund is available to other organizations that have a partnership with the Indigenous government. So there is no scope here for an individual to apply. But there is the scope for the partnership between a community organization and an Indigenous government to apply. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Yes, thank you. When there's a suicide in a community, obviously it affects the whole community, and I personally reach out to community leadership and ask how they want to be supported. And in the case of Tuktoyaktuk last fall, they told me that they wanted to bring in Jordan Tootoo as a speaker and to launch the House of Hope in Kitty Hall to provide things for the youth to do. It is youth mostly involved. And also to provide them with inspiration to fend off the darkness and depression. So this fund is about money that communities can apply for. The interventions that happen after a suicide...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Yes, thank you. Yes, there would be a partnership required of the nursing staff in home care, along with the paid family caregiver. They would be offering different kinds of services to the clients. Some of them are more medically sophisticated, if I can say, administration of medication, changing dressings, and so on whereas the paid family caregiver would be doing basic necessities of life.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thank you to the Member for the question. There are a total of 20 students in the final year of the bachelor of nursing program, and NTHSSA has made a conditional offer to each of them. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, can I confirm with the Member that she's looking at page 192?
