Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I’d like to thank the Minister for her answer. There has been information, Mr. Speaker, on small four-plexes being developed this year. Would these smaller units be made available for seniors in the future? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I appreciate the Minister’s answer, and I understand what you guys are trying to do. I guess what I’m trying to understand is I know we have these commonalities but we’ve done some work and I’m assuming that these other two territories have done that. I would like to see you guys work together and share this information. You know, you talk about trust and if you’re working together then it’s more information. Can the Minister look at that opportunity when you’re talking to your territorial counterparts as to tell them what you guys are doing and seeing if they’re...

I thank the Minister for her answer. It’s very encouraging. What is the Minister prepared to do to ensure our seniors are able to age in place and live in their communities in the Nahendeh region?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’d just like to get some clarifications on this conversation that has been going on. First of all, I must say it’s great that you guys have this work done. I guess my first question is in regards to Nunavut, Yukon, and ourselves working together what are the discussions and what do you present to the federal government? I know we’re not talking per capita but what information do you present to them? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. It has been a great opportunity to be more aware of events and special days that occur throughout the year. This past week was one of these times. Today, I as well will be speaking about World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Mr. Speaker, World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is marked each year on June 15th as an official United Nation International Day acknowledging the significance of elder abuse as the public health and human rights issue. Since 2006, communities have used this day to raise the visibility of elder abuse by sharing information about abuse and neglect, and promoting...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I thank the Minister for that answer. Just a little bit more clarification in regards to this process. Is it 100-per-cent funded by the Housing Corp or is it 50-50 or cost-sharing arrangements to ensure success? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I thank the Minister for that answer. It makes me very happy to hear that. We are building capacity, which is great. With this LHO, is it just strictly going to be Fort Liard, or is it going to have off-shoots to Nahanni Butte? Because right now Fort Simpson covers the whole region, so I am just trying to understand if they will have an off-shoot to one of the other smaller communities. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Is it going to be just general maintenance people? I know in Fort Simpson, they have plumbers and the like. Within Fort Liard, is it just going to be general maintenance and they will still have to bring in people from Fort Liard or businesses to do the other maintenance? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thanks to the Minister for that answer. Are these three staff going to be reporting to Simpson or is it going to be just a LHO with a local board in Fort Liard? Thank you.

No, that’s all I have on this page. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
