Thank you, Madam Chair. I just have a few follow-up questions from my comments and questions yesterday regarding seniors' complexes that have been built in the Northwest Territories, specifically Tuktoyaktuk, Deline and Fort Resolution. I know there is a fairly new Minister and a new president involved with the Housing Corporation. I just want to try to get some assurance from these gentlemen that things that have happened in the past where seniors' complexes are built without any seniors to go in them don't happen again. We don't just build something with the hopes that people are going to show up with their bags to move in, because that hasn't been the case in the past. I want to ask the Minister, specifically, what assurance is he willing to give the Standing Committee on Social Programs and this House, evidence that the uptake is there for this seniors' facility in Hay River? Madam Chair, this facility in Hay River is twice as big as the one that was built in Tuktoyaktuk and the one that was built in Deline. I think it is important that we have some clients signed up on paper that are ready, willing, and able to move into this facility before we proceed any further with it. Thank you, Madam Chair.
