    Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I'm looking for the cost per bed to run a bed for a person who is in -- so not the capital cost but the O and M costs for a person who is in long-term care versus a person who is in extended care. I'm wondering what the number is that health uses in order to budget based on the number of rooms or number of clients they expect to have. Thank you.

    Thank you, Madam Chair. Can I clarify is this the staffing O and M costs, or is this construction costs; what kind of costs? Thank you.

    Thank you very much, Madam Chair. And thank you for that. Likely, you know, we'll have that opportunity. I'm wondering if the Minister can also identify what is the cost per bed that Stanton Legacy uses for long-term care clients and the cost per bed that they use for extended care facilities? Thank you.

    Yes, thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the Department of Infrastructure is in charge of the building and the renovation at this point. So any deficiencies or need to address deficiencies would be questions for them. We're the end user. So we get the keys, and at that point we sincerely hope it is trouble free.

    Thank you very much, Madam Chair. So, Madam Chair, going forward, because it will no longer be a capital budget expenditure, it will be O and M, so in this kind of different scenario, we now lease this facility Stanton Legacy from a third party. And so any of deficiencies that are found within Stanton Legacy once it comes on board, are those going to be the responsibility of the third party, or how is that going to work, or have you divided up so that, you know, there is a clear indication of what will be the GNWT's responsibility for funding and what will be the third party's responsibility for funding? Thank you, Madam Chair.

    Yes, thank you. We're waiting for some modifications that were required before we take the keys, which we expect to do this spring. Then they'll be a commissioning period and a period where people and equipment is moved in to the building to make it operational. And at that point, the public will be welcomed in to the building. That's why we're saying summer. There are some loose ends around exactly what amount of time is allocated to each of those activities. I think that once we obtain the keys to the building and begin the commissioning, we'll be in a better position to identify a moving in day. That's what happened with the Stanton Territorial Hospital. Once the keys were received, they identified a move in -- or pardon me, a first day of operations for patients.
