In regard to the permanent care division, I’d like to talk about the Joe Greenland Centre in regard to the care facility. It is a level 3, level 4 facility and under long-term care plan of our communities. I think that this government has to realize that we do have an aging population and we would like to have a program in our communities where these people can remain in the communities, remain in their regions and not have to leave their home communities, their families and whatnot. I’d like to ask the Minister what plans there are in regard to either replacing the Joe Greenland Centre or basically enhancing that program so that we can continue to develop it. You mentioned yesterday that it is an aging facility in regard to long-term care. I’d like to make sure that that facility is going to continue to remain in the community of Aklavik and that it does provide employment for the residents of Aklavik who live in that community. I’d like to know what the status is on that and exactly what the plans are for that facility.
