That is again unfortunate news. Not what I wanted to hear. I would urge the department to do some inquiry, particularly within the city of Yellowknife, and determine the number of people who will soon be requiring and needing independent assisted living. It’s an area where the services are generally provided by non-government organizations, but the funding generally comes from GNWT, and I think we’re going to find within the next five years that there’s going to be a huge need for housing these particular individuals and I would ask the Minister if he would commit to look into the situation, get some numbers and report back to the Standing Committee on Social Programs or at least to me as a Member for Yellowknife.
