Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'm going to pick up where some of my colleagues left off, and I've got questions as well for the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation on their track record in terms of seniors' facilities. I'd like to first of all ask the Minister if he can advise us, as a segue into this, Mr. Speaker; we had the opportunity in April to visit the community of Tuktoyaktuk, which has a seniors' facility, and Regular Members were able to go and get a tour of this facility. Mr. Speaker, we couldn't find one senior in the entire facility, and in fact there were apartments there that hadn't been lived in in three years. We'd go in and open the fridge and the fridge would be on full blast, the heat was on full blast and there wasn't a soul living in the whole place except for the caretakers, Mr. Speaker. I'd like the Minister to advise us what the capital costs and the ongoing associated O and M costs are for the seniors' facilities in Deline, Fort Resolution and Tuktoyaktuk. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
