Thank you, Mr. Braden. The honourable Minister of Health and Social Services, Mr. Miltenberger. Excuse me, Mr. Braden, may I ask you again whom you directed that question to, I missed that.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question was directed to Minister Allen of the NWT Housing Corporation. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. It was the chair's error. The honourable Minister responsible for Housing and Justice, Mr. Allen.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Supplementary, Mr. Braden.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. With respect to the confidentiality of any business negotiations that might be underway, could the Minister advise whether proposals are being entertained from agencies involved in alcohol and drug treatment? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. The honourable Minister of Justice, Mr. Allen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. At this moment I don't have any specific details as to what proposals are being submitted and from whom, but again, I believe there is a willingness from the NWT Housing Corporation to entertain any proposal that we may get the facility back in operation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Supplementary, Mr. Braden.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, are we actively soliciting proposals for the use of this facility for any nature or is it ad hoc as people are interested: just what is our process for looking at this. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. The honourable Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation, Mr. Allen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Our personal interest at this point is trying to liquidate the mortgage owed on the unit. Certainly, I want to entertain any proposal that is viable and feasible at this point and hopefully entertain those proposals that can afford to operate the facility. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Your final supplementary, Mr. Braden.

Mr. Speaker, my information is that the mortgage that we are holding is somewhere in the neighbourhood of 2.7 million dollars, it is quite a piece of change. Is there any time line on making a decision that the government is looking at? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. The honourable Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation, Mr. Allen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. No, the most recent information from the Housing Corporation officials was that they were still trying to find a method to deal with those proposals and see how we can best address that at this point. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Item 6, oral questions. The honourable Member for Mackenzie Delta, Mr. Krutko.
