Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker. I have some additional questions about privacy following on from the ones that I asked before. Is the Minister able to tell me what percentage of the NWT Health and Social Services Authority staff have been trained in privacy training? I will just start with that one. Thank you.

I would like to know from the Minister what restrictions are now in place in Inuvik within the electronic record system to limit access to the records based on the actual job the person does at the hospital.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services. One of the takeaways from the 2017 investigation by the Information and Privacy Commissioner into the privacy breach at the Inuvik Hospital is that it was almost certainly avoidable if the recommendations from the 2012 investigation had been acted on. In an effort to ensure there is action on the problem this time, I am looking for information on the implementation of the 2017 recommendations.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate Mr. Stewart's response. Does he have any example of tax avoidance as he referenced in his answer? Is he talking about, for example, investments in RRSPs or something other? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Vanthuyne canvassed my questions.

Thank you very much for your responses. I have nothing further.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister Responsible for the Housing Corporation. Her report on reducing core housing need, called "Towards Level Ground: Addressing Persistent Core Need in the Northwest Territories," includes an action plan with spending of $20 million in the next fiscal year, yet the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation operations and maintenance budget is decreasing this year. What is the source of the $20 million required by the plan, and further:

How did the Minister decide to allocate spending among the 15 programs listed in the plan;

How...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the response from the Finance Minister. What does he anticipate the lead time is between fully making the case for an increase in the borrowing limit and getting approval for that? How much time does he anticipate that will take? Thank you.

I want to emphasize again, this report was not written by my Mom. These people are world-wide experts in revenue generation through resource royalties. So I am very interested to know how the Minister is going to evaluate the contents of these reports and bring the results to bear for discussion in the House?
