Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I will have my officials contact the Inuvik officials immediately. I would also like to state that I am going to be in the Delta, Inuvik specifically, around March 20th to 21st, somewhere around then. I would certainly like to meet with whomever I can on this subject. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is good to hear the Minister will have someone making contact immediately. Will the discussions be open so that they can put proposals on the table as to alternative construction methods? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I will be open to any possibilities or ideas. What has to always be respected, of course, is our process for capital planning, but I will certainly take into consideration any possibilities that may be feasible for us to consider. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In the possibilities of what is being considered feasible, I hope the Minister and his department will take into account the fact that this campus and residence have been on the books for quite some time. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I did address the whole issue of the immediate need, and there was an immediate need for accommodation in Inuvik, and we have opened up the row housing, or are in the process of opening up some units now. It was critical that we do that, Mr. Speaker. Certainly I am aware that there has been a desire to have a residence attached to the college, but there are challenges, of course, for us all the time with the amount and availability of capital funding. Certainly I will keep an open mind to possibilities. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Again, just for the fact, as the Minister prepares for this and the department goes there, there are no preconceptions as to time lines. The other day, the Minister stated something about 10 years that these interim arrangements might be working. I would like to have the Minister confirm in fact that feasibility and consideration will be given to the options put forward even if they come up sooner, as long as they can meet this government's requirements for cash flow. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Respecting the process that we use, I have to always consider the capital planning process and so forth, but I am looking forward to meeting in the Delta. I have been asked to go to the leadership meeting in Inuvik midway through the month. I am looking forward to that because I was not able to go the last time. The Premier had asked me to attend a meeting in Calgary and I had missed that meeting, Mr. Speaker. It would have been an opportunity to discuss this matter. I am looking forward to going. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my statement today, I mentioned the many people in my communities who are either sick or have died from cancer in the past few years. Mr. Speaker, by the time they are diagnosed, it is too late. I would like to ask the Minister if his department could find out why so many people from my communities are sick or are dying of cancer? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Using the services of the Stanton Yellowknife Hospital, I see the care they give to the patients and how professional they are in their work. I would like to ask the Minister if the diagnostic equipment at Stanton is so booked up that we are not diagnosing our patients in time. Thank you.
