The Northwest Territories Housing Corporation acts very closely with the Department of Health and Social Services in regards to aging in place for our seniors and our elders within the territories. Not only do we consult on them with how to support seniors within their own homes, but we are also working closely together in the design of elders' complexes. From a housing standpoint, I realize that elders and seniors need to have socialization to do well. From the Health and Social Services standpoint, they recognize that providing services, onsite talks about accessibility is the best service to seniors. We work together, actually, to provide units that actually can accommodate both the needs of health professionals going in and providing support and the socialization that is needed for seniors to keep them mentally and physical well. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
