Mr. Speaker, a lot of these facilities are built and designed with the Department of Health and Social Services, through the arrangement to provide seniors' facilities in communities, and also in regard to alcohol and drug programs. The department, along with other departments, has done an assessment of all of the facilities that we presently operate with less than 30 percent capacity. We are presently in the process of working with those different agencies.

You touched on an area that was raised in the House earlier in regard to the Deline facility. We have a committee in place, and we're hoping to have that unit up and running by 2006, and have the parties agree on exactly what the use of that facility is. The same thing applies to the facility in Tuk. That facility was constructed as any other seniors' facility throughout the North. It was in conjunction with the Department of Health and Social Services to provide seniors' care in communities. But at the facility in Tuk, as you mentioned, we are presently in the process of restricting certain access to half of the facility and allowing that half of the facility to be used for public housing tenants. So we are looking at starting to rent out those facilities and keeping the other half for a seniors' facility, as it has been agreed to. But again, through the review by the departments on the 30 percent occupancy to ensure that we find other uses for that facility.

The Member also mentioned the Somba K'e facility. We're presently working with people in the private sector such as Bosco Homes and other agencies to see if they are interested in acquiring that facility for the intent of that facility, which was a treatment facility. I think because of the restrictions of the agreements that were in place prior to where we are today, where a lot of the agreements we had did not have an opt in or out clause, we're basically stuck with the facility and paying the mortgage and whatnot on these facilities and to carry forward.

So, Mr. Speaker, that's the short of it.
