Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Further to my statement earlier, I would like to ask questions to the Minister responsible for Seniors, Minister Miltenberger. Obviously there are many issues pertaining to seniors that one can address in this House, but I would like to start with the housing needs. There is quite a bit of backup with respect to seniors' housing. We have a lack of facilities for those who are suffering from dementia and they are currently being placed at the hospital, which costs a lot more on a day-to-day basis than if we were to have a separate facility to house the health and physical needs of persons who suffer from dementia. Then some of those seniors are in the hospital or in Aven Manor or Aven Seniors' Centre, which was not designed for that purpose in the first place. I know that the Minister has been considering a proposal from YACCS, Yellowknife Association for Concerned Citizens for Seniors. I would like to know if the Minister could update this House on where he is with that proposal. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
