Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Clearly, the Member and I would not want to engage in that type of discussion in the House, so if the Member would share that information with us, we would make sure it gets forwarded on to the Housing Corporation to be tracked down and sorted out. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Health and Social Services, working with ECE, will be looking at loading up the tablets with all the appropriate programs and apps that allow people to tie into all these programs and services that the government does provide.

As I was sitting here listening to the debate, if I just may digress for one second, about 10 years ago ECE entered into a multi-year contract with the Bill and Malinda Gates Foundation to cover the Northwest Territories, which they did with going in all the communities trying to set up virtual libraries.

This new legislation gives the Government of the Northwest Territories the authority to make sure...

Mr. Speaker, this is a project on a site that is under federal responsibility. The federal Minister of AANDC has hold of the pen and is investing his department. We, like everybody else, are awaiting his public release and approval of the report and the agreed to modifications. Thank you.
