(Translation) Mr. Chairman, I know this is in your region, Mr. Chairman. However, under Kitikmeot, building and works, the health centre will be replaced. It is going to cost $2.858 million. Is this health centre in Gjoa Haven to be replaced, it is an old building? What year was this building constructed? Thank you, Mr. Chairman. (Translation ends)

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Gjoa Haven Health Centre that is being replaced was occupied, I believe, in 1970. The budget amount for Gjoa Haven is actually $488,000. The honourable Member has skipped down to the total building and works for all the regions under this category, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
