Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we are currently working with Avens who, with support from us, some money to help them do the work, is developing a comprehensive business case for the expansion of 48 beds on the Avens site, a net gain of 48 beds on the Avens site. The other 172 beds, we are looking at putting into the old hospital, and we have got direction from FMB to explore that further and see what we can do to utilize that. That will give us the 120 beds that are required in Yellowknife as a result of the comprehensive review that was done, indicating we need 258 beds. I have also had some discussions with a number of different groups in Hay River who have expressed an interest in being partners or finding ways to work together to increase the number of long-term beds in that community.

Priority-wise, based on where the demand currently lies, our priorities are to get the 258 beds open by 2026 or within 2026, but, in order, priority would go Yellowknife; Inuvik, where we have people living in acute care units in the hospital, which is completely inappropriate; then Fort Simpson and Hay River are about equal. That is the majority of the 258 beds. We are working on different plans, trying to address the needs across the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
