Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you for the question. I think this has been raised in the last few days and I can tell you that, yes, there was a master plan brought forward. It was not affordable, nor did it fit the current and future needs of the health system for the GNWT. So we are now in the process of reworking that closely with Stanton, as well as the other authorities. This will look at what services need to be provided there, within the Territories, what can be moved out and the functional plan and the impact on the actual functional needs will arise from the program service needs that will be established. This is critical to ensure that the use of the existing facility is renovated and redesigned to fit both patient safety and flow as it has evolved in the last two years. So I'm anticipating that this work will be completed and inclusive of the work with the Department of Public Works within the next two years, total.
