Thank you, Mr. Roland. Supplementary, Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister make a commitment, as the previous Minister has made some commitments, as to this facility in terms of having it open? I remember sometime last year the previous Minister said that this issue will not be an issue at this time of the year in terms for having this facility, especially Deline seniors' or old folk's home facility will be open and also looking at a long-term care facility. I know he is working with the Housing Corporation. People in Deline are waiting. The elders are waiting to see if this is a reality. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my understanding is that there was an agreement to get the work done on this facility dealing with some of the shortfalls and the older structure as it needs to be updated; code violations needed to be repaired. But I will get the latest on this and get back to the Member as to where it stands. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Supplementary, Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister here to commit to going beyond where it stands in terms of when will the people in Deline and Sahtu as they were promised -- commitments were made -- when will the seniors have a long-term care facility and also to finish and complete the renovation of the Deline's seniors' facility? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I can't give a date to the Member at this time. Just to be clear, working on the facility was built quite some time ago and some discretions are going on as how it can be utilized by the community and discussions with the community and the Housing Corporation, there was an agreed plan to put in place of that and the necessary work that was identified. There has been a fair bit of tenant improvements that need to be done. To my understanding, it is over half a million dollars of work required. I will have to get some timelines as to when that will proceed. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Final supplementary, Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have asked the Minister of Health and Social Services if he would make a commitment to come into Deline and talk to the people in terms of this facility. Mr. Speaker, people in Deline are waiting. At the same time, elders are dying here in Yellowknife at the Aven Manor centre that have come from the Sahtu region. They want a facility where they can go back home to Deline or to the Sahtu to have their last dying days there. It is not happening today. I would like to ask the Minister if he could work on this to see that the elders in the Sahtu can at least have their last wish be granted. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, to my understanding, the work that is being done on the facility that now sits in Deline would allow for seniors to live independently in the facility that is being reprofiled. As for a long-term facility that requires 24-7 hours of care, that is something else that, at this point, we don't have, from my understanding, a plan to put a new facility in the community as of yet. That is something that we do have to look at addressing across the Territories as we look at all of our seniors' facilities that have 24-7 care. At this time, with the work that we are doing on the existing facility, I will get up to speed on that and inform the Member of the latest work there where it sits and trying to ensure that facility moves ahead in a timely fashion. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Oral questions. The honourable Member for Hay River South, Mrs. Groenewegen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Justice, the Honourable Brendan Bell. Would this government's Department of Justice ever instruct a lawyer acting on our behalf in the case of an alleged victim of sexual abuse go

to the issue of consent if it were between a teacher and a student? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. I think that is a hypothetical question, Mrs. Groenewegen. Do you want to rephrase your question? Mrs. Groenewegen.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. The honourable Minister of Justice, Mr. Bell.

Mr. Speaker, I know the Member is doing the best possible job to try to phrase this in the general sense, but I think we all know the case that we are speaking to. It is a specific case. I am not comfortable in commenting on something that is before the courts. I don't think it is appropriate for me to do so. So it is very difficult for me to separate this from the case that I believe we are talking to. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Bell. We will rule that question out of order. The Minister referenced sub judice. I think that applies in this question.

---Ruled Out of Order

Oral questions. The honourable Member for the Sahtu, Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the Minister of Transportation this question here in terms of the issue around the NAV Can twin towers in Fort Good Hope that seems to be in the way of future development of a new school for Chief T'Selehye School. Is the Minister working on this issue so that the people in Fort Good Hope can have their school be brought into consideration for the building of a new facility there? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. The honourable Minister of Transportation, Mr. Menicoche.

Mr. Speaker, the Member for the Sahtu raises a good issue that is actually a new issue out in Fort Good Hope. That is the two towers that are owned by NAV Canada. Discussions are underway as we speak, but it being a federal department, it has federal bureaucracy attached to it and answers will be forthcoming. But to date, there has been nothing in the works there. Mahsi cho.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Supplementary, Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am going to ask one final question. That will be it for the honourable Minister of Justice, Mr. Menicoche. Would he work with other Ministers and the Minister of DPW, and the Minister of the Education council in terms of clearing up this issue along with the federal counterparts in terms of ensuring that the people in Fort Good Hope can expect that the Chief T'Selehye School is on time, on budget and ready to go when it is supposed to go? Thank you.
