Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am aware of the concern raised by the Member. We have a file with some extensive documentation. At this present time there is no funding in the department's capital plan for any new facilities.

The new hospital in Inuvik has had an additional eight beds added into the design which will bring the total of 32 beds in the Inuvik region for long-term care. We are however looking at expanding the home support services and supported living programs that we deliver across the North where I think there is room for us to help accommodate the intent of the people of Fort McPherson to keep elders in their home for as long as possible. Thank you.
