I need to reiterate that we are not hiring employees for the renovated Joe Greenland Centre. Home care workers, we are talking about home care workers that will be employed by the authority to work for the entire community.

In answer to the Member’s first question, the briefing note said two home care support workers. When I was in Aklavik meeting with the community, after that we have looked into that further and we are working toward having three home care support workers. So it is one more than what was suggested in the briefing note. Right now there is one home care worker in Aklavik and he spends, apparently, most of his time driving elders around. We need people to do more than that. We need to have home care workers that will support elders with their medication or medical, working on light housework, making sure their chronic disease conditions, or just be able to do more home visits, so we are going to expand the home care supply there by 300 percent with reprogramming. We are not going to be staffing. Joe Greenland Centre will be renovated and returned to what it was meant to be, which is an independent living unit. The NWT Housing Corporation has at least eight or nine elders who are on the waiting list who could benefit from moving into that unit. Thank you.
