Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, I know that I've abandoned the idea that that building could be used for a long-term care facility. The department's not prepared to make a commitment to hire nurses to run the facility to house four people. So, I mean, that is something that would be good. We have long-term people being housed elsewhere -- Yellowknife, Hay River and Fort Smith -- however, there doesn't seem to be a willingness of the department to look at this or it doesn't seem to be a possibility yet. I don't know, really, what the actual, you know, the obstacle...I just don't see this as something that we cannot get around. But, again, that's not what I'm asking.

What I'm asking for is something that we haven't asked for before, actually, and although it was being put in various ways, Our Great Elders Facility would be an ideal place to build a palliative care unit. Ideal. Like I said, there are four rooms. In Hay River, they took two regular hospital rooms and converted them into one palliative care unit. So there's an area for the family to just sit away from, you now, where their loved one is very sick in one room, and it's a very good unit. I think anybody's whose had to have somebody in the palliative care unit in Hay River will tell you that it's very, very good. It gives the family an opportunity to take care of their loved one.

Now, this individual that I speak of did pass away in the palliative care unit. So it seems to me that there wouldn't be a whole bunch of extra requirements in order to convert this to a palliative care unit. I don't think you'd need more than the complement of nurses that are currently in Fort Resolution. I think that in most cases the elders are taken care of by their family in their last days.

I guess it's okay to look at building a palliative care unit, but I would rather that they built a palliative care unit. Right? Instead of just looking at building a palliative care unit. So, again, I want the department to, I guess, commit or explain to me the obstacle of why they can't build a palliative care unit in Our Great Elders Facility in Fort Resolution. Thank you.
