Nothing further. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess the next question is: you said that there are some people that have been down there for quite a number of years. How many of those people have we lost to the Alberta healthcare system, if any? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. What is the average cost, I guess, per person per year to house them down South? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I had a question from a constituent there a few weeks ago. She has a sister who has been down there for quite a number of years, and whether she's forgotten or whether the government has forgotten about her or not, I'm not sure. Are there any plans to repatriate the people under residential care back to the territories in the South? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm on page 180. Hopefully, I'm on the right page.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Now, for the $9 million question: what is the status of the proposed fishing plant for Hay River, and will the Minister commit to providing me with a briefing on this project? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

One important recommendation from the panel is the inclusion of fishers' participation in FFMC by drawing board members from fishers and fisher organizations. This government appointed a bureaucrat to the board. I ask the Minister if she will commit to reviewing this appointment and consider appointing a northern fisher to the board.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I apologize. Today, I am recycling one of my earlier statements on the NWT commercial fishing industry. On September 21, 2018, the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard announced the establishment of a ministerial advisory panel to examine alternate governance and ownership models for the Freshwater Fish Marketing Corporation which better reflect the environment and market conditions in today's industry. The panel was directed to explore models that support collaboration and cooperation amongst fishers and involve them in decision making.

Mr. Speaker...

Thank you, Madam Chair. Just a question on page 185 with respect to Hay River Health and Social Services Authority. We see an increase of $1.542 million. Can you give me an explanation on that? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. My understanding, as well, with dementia, we have facilities here in Yellowknife to place people, but we don't really have any facilities outside Yellowknife with the proper care, and we send people to Alberta. Can you give me an indication if this government's looking to expand that type of care outside Yellowknife? An example would be Hay River. We have a building that's going to be available, and I just want to get an indication if that is something that this government would be looking at. Thank you, Madam Chair.
