Mr. Chairman, I know I always get confused about what is level I, level II and level III. I think the honourable Member is talking about level III care. I have said to Members here that I want you to be sure I am working with the Minister responsible for Housing. I specifically asked what kind of action we could take with the Fort Providence senior citizens' home. I asked that question yesterday and I got an answer yesterday.

What the Minister of Housing has indicated to me is that he has directed his officials at the corporation to develop a request for funding from CMHC, to conduct renovations at the seniors' facility. He did that on October 7, 1994. Mr. Morin believes it is important that the health officials consult with the elders in Fort Providence to see if there is a need for level I or level II care. With level II care, one caretaker is required. It is not as extreme as level III where, generally, elders are referred to Yellowknife or some major centre.

Mr. Morin has indicated that before resources are spent on renovations, he wants to determine that there will not be a need in the foreseeable future for level II care units. The officials of both our departments are committed to meeting immediately to try to resolve with the community exactly what their needs are, so that we can proceed. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
