Yes, thank you I said to the Members for Thebacha and Hay River South that they could forward their questions to me. So these projects two of these projects are impacted by the flooding that occurred last year and this year. They were planned for areas which flooded in the respective years. So that has put some uncertainty into the budget because the location is not certain. The one that is furthest ahead at this point in planning is the Inuvik longterm care. And I'll ask Mr. Heath to provide the specific answer to the Member's question. Thank you

Yes, thank you. It's my information that the Department of Finance is reviewing the education leave program at this time and more detail is available from that department. Thank you.

Yes, thank you we're replacing the existing tractor rather than adding a new tractor. But I'll ask Mr. Heath if he wants to add anything more.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I don't have any information that the nursing program is oversubscribed and that people are being turned away. What I can say about the bursary program is it hasn't been offered before so we have no information on the uptake. So I think the idea is to, first of all, work with Indigenous and northern students and then expand given the results of the initial offering. Thank you.

Yes, thank you. I'll ask Mr. Heath to answer that question.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. No.

DEPUTY SPEAKER:

Yes, thank you. We own the land. We have a technical assessment and an environmental assessment of the 51st Street location. The design was initiated on that basis. The city has asked us to reconsider the location, which we've said we're going to do. But at this point there are quite a number of unknowns, such as whether we can access the land to do feasibility studies, geotechnical studies, what it would cost to purchase that land, what kind of redesign would be necessary as a result of that purchase, so there are some substantial unknowns at this point. And it's not entirely within our...

Yeah, thank you. I am not exactly sure what the Member is asking for. If she's asking for how many people have been to treatment in that time, I can provide that information.

Yes, thank you, I'll ask Mr. Heath to provide the detail on that.

Yes, thank you. This project was recent it was originally considered to cost in the range of $10 million. The new cost is unknown. I agree that that may not be an easy sell for the federal government but until the location is sorted out, we are not able to firm up the cost. Thank you.
