Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Minister has indicated that they do not really foresee any change in the program. Could he indicate if there has been a decision made as to where the units will be allocated this year?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As for this year, I am unable to provide that information to the Member. The decision has not been made to date. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Could the Minister indicate if there are any plans for senior facilities other than independent housing?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The only program we have under the Housing Corporation is a Seniors Independent Housing Program. If there are other levels, as mentioned earlier by the Member, I believe a Level II and III care are provided, no facility, that would be done through, I believe, the Department of Health and Social Services. The only program that we have in the Housing Corporation is under the Seniors' Independent Housing Program. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Under Level I would be what we consider through the Housing Corporation independent senior housing. Level II would be where there would be some need for some attention, be it medical attention. Level III would be when the individuals are in full care of the department. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Could the Minister clarify what he had indicated as to Level II and Level III care facilities? Is he saying that the corporation is not involved in this type of housing or facilities whatsoever?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In the past, before programs changed with CMHC, at one time we did provide support. For example, at Aven Manor, the facility at that time, which included a large amount of support from the CMHC program. Right now as it exists, the programs we carry, we do not carry support beyond the Level I, as we call it, the Independent Seniors' Housing Program. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Does the Minister or his staff have an idea of what the need is for Level II or Level III care facilities beyond what we have to date?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Through the Housing Corporation there has not been any information gathered on the need that would be required for Level II and Level III care or facilities. That would be done through the Department of Health and Social Services. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If a community feels that they have the need for a Level II or Level III care facility, how should they proceed and would the Housing Corporation be there for assistance? Would the corporation be involved at all?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The only process that is available right now would be to work through the health boards and put a request in to the Department of Health and Social Services through the health boards. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have several questions. I read an article in Nunatsiaq News last week and they had indicated that they would be looking to build or they had a need of 3,000 housing units in Nunavut. Has there been any progress in your communications with Nunavut on how we are going to be involved, if at all, in program or housing delivery in Nunavut in the next few years until they get their own Housing Corporation set up?
