Yes, Mr. Chairman. We have a number of letters from individuals from the Kitikmeot region indicating that they often have to be put in another boarding home or in a hotel. I have started discussions with the Kitikmeot Health Board and my understanding is that they wanted to talk to the present owners of the building, the Inuk Development Corporation, who put up the boarding home. They felt it was in their best interest, if they are going to expand, to put it in the same place because people were fairly satisfied with the management and the kind of facility that has been run from there. I know at the very beginning when it was put up there was a shortfall on space and there was the intention to take over a second lot but they couldn't really afford it. I don't know if there's a place for expansion but I believe that at the Kitikmeot Health Board level it's an active discussion and I'll continue to pursue that as well.
