Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the GNWT has been a substantive leaseholder in the Northern United building since it was constructed in 1976. Over the years, the GNWT has occupied three floors in the building with offices with a number of departments there, and at present Aurora College occupies that for their campus and student housing. An important consequence of the GNWT leasing significant space in NUP allows subsidized, low cost housing to be provided to seniors, for persons with disabilities and others with limited financial means in this building. This is absolutely vital for these people. The program needs of the Yellowknife Campus of Aurora College are expanding, and I understand various options are being considered to meet these needs.
Mr. Speaker, my question for the Minister of Public Works and Services is will the Minister please provide me with an update on the current Aurora College lease situation in the Northern United Place building? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
