Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I will have to check into the prior commitments of the last government, particularly the Health and Social Services Minister and see what commitments were actually made. I can tell the honourable Member that we are aware of the situation in Gjoa Haven. Unfortunately, last fall when there was a preliminary technical assessment done by Public Works and Services, they had recommended that a renovation could take place. Because of that, the Department of Health and Social Services downscaled our financial forecast for that project. As it stands now, there was a more detailed assessment undertaken as of March. We just got the report from the Department of Public Works and Services on that. It is now recommending a new facility. Of course, a new facility is a significantly higher financial demand than a renovation. We are going to have to deal with that issue in the immediate future. Thank you.
