Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister confirm if her department is working with the Minister of Housing and ECE to collaborate on effective programs and support for seniors? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'd ask the Minister responsible for Health and seniors to confirm where her department is with respect to developing a home care strategy that is in line with this government's commitment to supporting seniors, aging at home, with dignity. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And the heavyduty truck replacement, what's that for? Just to replace something that's aged? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. A question I guess with respect to the fence as well. I guess driving around there, I see that people could crawl under it. So I'm just wondering if that's what that $135,000 was, is to fix that  those issues up.

Thank you, Madam Chair. With respect to the remote collection stations, are they going to be in communities, closer to communities, or will they be looking at some of the older existing stations they have around the lake, revitalizing those? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Just because of rising cost in material and that, do we have a contingency built in to offset any additional material costs or labour? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, like we said yesterday, we are talking about $33,655 annually, which works out to $0.72 per day per member over a sixmonth period. The ski club are very concerned as there is no funding in place for the coming year. Mr. Speaker, will the Minister commit to providing, or at least reviewing how a longer term financial commitment can be made to the Hay River Ski Club as it is essential to their survival? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And can the Minister confirm the amount of that one time, I guess, contribution or is  are they required to  is the ski club required to actually apply for it and possibly get turned down? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have four simple questions for the Minister of MACA and the "yes" answer works out to 72 cents per day per person.

Can the  I'd ask the Minister what  or if she can confirm the amount of lottery funds received from Hay River retailers goes to the Hay River sports clubs. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, Mr. Speaker, you know, the ski club, they're really concerned that they might not be able to operate this year, and if a funding arrangement of the GNWT is not forthcoming, I guess I'd ask the Minister if she's just willing to let the Hay River Ski Club cease to operate?

But before she answers that, I would offer her a solution. I would ask her to seek funds from Health and Justice because some of the  because without options, that's where some of our youth are headed, if we don't get that support. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
