Thank you, Mr. Chairman. At the standing committee on finance, we had some concern about a senior citizens' facility which is to be completed this year in Fort Franklin, with a second facility being planned for Fort Norman, which is in the same region. It was pointed out that there are numerous regions in the North where there are no senior citizens' facilities. It was not satisfactorily explained at the standing committee on finance how the policy could be applied so that one region would wind up with two facilities when some regions had none. We thought this should be something that was needs-based rather than perhaps a situation that might be politically driven.
Therefore, we wanted to request that, before we were satisfied, if this was something that was really needed we thought that we needed to see a clearly defined policy from the department explaining why this project was needed in this region. In the absence of having seen that, Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a motion.
Motion To Delete Senior Citizen's Facility, Fort Norman, Carried
I move that the 1992-93 capital estimates for the Department of Social Services, under the activity community and family support services, for the project senior citizen's facility, Fort Norman, in the amount of $15,000, be deleted.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This activity is responsible for services to handicapped persons. Looking at the capital projects and where the projects are being built, it seems like certain preferences have been given to certain communities or regions. My question is, in the future are there needs assessments being done community by community, region by region, to make a determination as to where facilities are needed, not by who dictates or who is in
charge?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we are working through the regional community and family support groups, in conjunction with other things as well. To some extent we are examining, very closely, the needs that are coming from the other communities or regions. We are also looking at what is available in that community for facilities that are already there, and how these facilities can be better utilized to meet these needs.

I note that on page 15-20, for each facility you have in brackets the NWT Housing Corporation. Is that the department that builds the facilities, or are they joint-ventured with your department? How are these facilities planned or constructed?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. They are joint-ventured with Public Works for some, the Housing Corporation for some, and the Department of Health in others, depending on the level of care that we are dealing with.
