Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Concerning constituency in the Fort Simpson area, I wanted to ask what is the process that communities have to get involved in, in order to be eligible to be considered for an elders' residence? There are a couple of communities in my constituency which have expressed interest in it. What is the process for being considered? Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, these are N.W.T. residences and they would fall into the normal capital planning process. I think the Member is aware of the planning at the community and regional levels, with the involvement of M.L.A.s. It would have to come up through the normal planning cycle.

I have a question related to the community of Fort Simpson and the elders' residence there. We have level I and level II care. As the elders get older we need to get into level three care for them. We might be infringing on a health issue but I know that Social Services is involved in providing the funding to take care of levels I and II. If we were to move to level III care, what would the community have to do to be considered for that? Thank you.
