Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The example the Member uses, the Joe Greenland facility, is an NWT Housing Corporation facility. The Member is correct that at one point Health and Social Services had more involvement in supporting the seniors and the facility such as this. We are currently working with the Housing Corporation on providing that level of service again to the individuals at both the Joe Greenland Centre, eight units that added on to the seniors citizens home in Aklavik, and a new facility that is planned for Fort McPherson of approximately eight or nine units that’s an assisted living...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is a health centre/long-term care combination building. It is a very elaborate building. I’m going to get Mr. Heath to explain some of the technical class, I guess, as the Member indicated, of the building, but first to let the Member know that this is a building that is 4,000 square metres, approximately 4,000 square metres. We recognize there is a lot of staff to be trained. We’re in the process of putting the detail together and the training of the staff. We will also be going forward to the Assembly for all of the O and M that’s required to operate that...

Yes, Mr. Chairman, I have witnesses.

Sorry, Mr. Speaker. I don’t know what else to say other than there’s an e-mail here; it’s got four points on it. It explains the situation. It explains that we’re continuing to work with the RCMP. We have a good relationship with the RCMP, and Mr. Hawkins asked me about this in March and today is November…
