Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the honourable Minister for Health and Social Services.
On February 26, 1993, I asked the Minister the following question. Would the Minister look into the possibility of getting a group home for the mentally handicapped in Gjoa Haven? She indicated that a group home to be located in Gjoa Have was identified for 1988 and 1989. Subsequent inquiries revealed that there was no demand. Mr. Speaker, I went to Gjoa Haven in February, 1993, with the Honourable Nellie Cournoyea, and met with the hamlet council. The need for a group home for the mentally handicapped was one of the requests made by the hamlet of Gjoa Haven. I wonder if the Minister would seriously look into the possibility of building a group home in Gjoa Haven for the Kitikmeot region? Thank you.
