Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I can confirm that absolutely. The executive director is the chair of the reference panel for the NGOs that we have put together. The executive director is the chair. We have been working with them. They are one of the groups that suggested to us that we need to make sure we get this right as opposed to right now, so we are working with them and even more so as we move forward into the next step, which is going past the inventory and into the action plans.

Thank you, Minister. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. That is all I have for now. Thanks.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Ms. Green.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to follow up a discussion that we had during the business plan review about the status of the grant-in-kind for the Rockhill Family Housing program. The department was to look at reinstating the accounting for the grant-in-kind. It sounds like some paperwork needed to be done. Is it possible to get an update on the status of the grant-in-kind to Rockhill Family Housing program? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, if you turn to page 168, you will see the Rockhill apartments, which is the money I believe the Member is referring to. It is back in the budget. Just as a note, the lease does expire in 2018, and we are currently working with the YMCA to do a bit of an assessment of the space: is it still the right space? Does it still meet the needs? Will it continue to meet the needs?

Ultimately, though, just to be clear, we are committed to supporting the programs and services being delivered by Rockhill. We do have the option for a 10-year lease extension. We just want to work with them to make sure that that building is still meeting their needs, but we are 100 per cent in, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister. Ms. Green.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Well, Rockhill is almost 50 years old. The plumbing system is going. The electrical system and fire suppression systems have been upgraded, but its lease on life is in fact coming to an end. Has the department started planning for where this program will be offered when Rockhill is finally declared dead? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we have not done that work yet, but will be working with them. We are committed to working with them to look at the space to see what kind of life we have left and, if there is any life left, what needs to be done. Whether or not someday we do have to move from that building, we will work with them to find alternative solutions.

Thank you, Minister. Ms. Green.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, that response concerns me greatly because what I have heard the Minister say consistently today is that various projects are delayed and behind schedule. This is a place where people live, and so there can't be any delay in meeting their needs, so I am distressed that there is no planning under way for a replacement. I am not an engineer, but I can tell you that that building is clapped out unless somebody is willing to spend major money retrofitting the plumbing system and the heating system. I would feel better about the future of transitional housing for clients across the NWT but taking place here in Yellowknife if I knew that there was at least a plan to plan to replace Rockhill. Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Would the Minister like to respond?

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. I am sorry that the Member is distressed. I don't know how to be more clear. We are committed to working with Rockhill. The Yellowknife regional office manages that contract. I understand that they are prepared to have some discussions with them and start looking at the building to see if there is any potential future there or whether or not it is absolute we have got to find another location, but we are committed to working with them.

We have no interest in seeing those people hit the street. We are interested in working with the organization to make sure those people continue to be housed, and we will do what we need to do. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Ms. Green.

No further questions. Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Green. We will open the discussion up to include pages 168 to 170, as well. Next, I have Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I am looking at page 167, residential care for adults and children. I would like to first ask the Minister: on the expenditure category of this page, where are the expenditure categories that encompass residential care for adults and children? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Contracts and transfers to the authorities, so grants, contributions, and transfers. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask the Minister, on the contract section, what type of term? I realize there is a lot of detail, but what type of term on the contracts for this care, the length of the contract? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
