Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member knows that the department has been looking very hard to see where we can help Fort Providence. We have been dealing with the issue for quite some time. At some point in working on this we had a tentative plan to assist the community to stabilize the church. Also, in the past, I have attempted to find resources that would stabilize the church and to renovate it. I have not been able to get the adequate resources to renovate the old church. I am told by my department, the government, and this Legislature, that since we are in a fiscal restraint and the resources are limited we should be looking for resources outside of the Government of the Northwest Territories. I have directed my department to see if they can find resources with federal programs that might be available to assist the Fort Providence church. To this date, my department has no immediate plans to put forward a submission that would renovate the church. Thank you.
