Thank you, Minister. I will open the floor to general comments. We have a few MLAs who have not spoken to the department with general comments. Would anyone like to make general comments? Mr. Nakimayak.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, looking at the plans, it is good to see that the long-term care facilities are getting a boost in beds and taking care of our elders. The Minister mentioned a few times during the session that aging in place is also important. I would just like to point out one of my communities, Ulukhaktok, in particular. That community holds a lot of culture; two different languages, two different dialects, and it is important for elders to remain in the community to continue to blend with the youth and the other community members. I believe, next year, I think it is important to start to look at facilities for elders in the communities as we move ahead. Other than that, I do not really have much else to say. That is it. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Nakimayak. Would you like to respond, Minister?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, similar to questions that were raised yesterday, when it comes to long-term care facilities, those are level 3/4 facilities for individuals who are no longer to live independently and have medical issues that need to be addressed in a 24/7 facility. Given the model, we are not looking to develop those in smaller communities, but rather communities where we do have medical practitioner positions on site and where there is a greater degree of care available given the acuity of these patients. We absolutely without question support aging in place. We want to keep our people in their homes and in their communities for as long as possible.

We do not have money in the Health and Social Services capital budget for independent living units, but the Housing Corporation has been very creative over the last number of years and they have been a great partner in the design of these independent living units where we could actually incorporate programs based on other things.

I cannot remember what the status of different long-term care facilities in the Nunakput riding are, but I am sure the Minister of Housing can certainly give you an update on that.

Thank you, Minister. Anything further? I see nothing further from Mr. Nakimayak. Anyone else with general comments? Mr. McNeely.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I look forward to going through the capital plans for this department as noted here. There is a new facility going up in the riding of the Sahtu in particular, in the community of Tulita. As we know, Tulita has their encounters with varmints running around the property, and in order to attract new personnel, and preferably long-term employees of the department, facing the challenges like any other small community has, with limitations, including the high cost of living of groceries, for example. A new piece of property would really enhance the attraction of professional people in that area. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. McNeely. Does the Minister have any comments for that?

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I appreciate the Member's comments. The community health centre in Tulita is certainly one that definitely needs to be replaced. There has been a lot of debate in this House about the status of that building, both in this Assembly and the previous Assembly, with things like mice and other critters, if you will, in the facility, and the challenges that has for our staff and for the community.

We are excited to move forward with that facility. What we are looking at, obviously, is to get some work done in the 2018-2019 fiscal year. Hopefully, if everything works out the way we were hoping, we might see some supplies rolling in the winter road in 2019.

Thank you, Minister. Nothing further from Mr. McNeely. Mr. McNeely.

Thank you for the allowance, Mr. Chair. I just want to make a comment that I look forward to working with both departments of Public Works and Services, or a DOY now on the end of department, to try and merge some input from the community on the cultural design of the appearance of the building so it fits with the community leadership's input into the image of the building, not necessarily the technical side of the interior where it is more to meet health standards. I am thinking the outside definitely would be of interest to the community, to have some cultural features of the building. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. McNeely. Would you like to respond, Minister?

Thank you, Minister. Any further general comments? Mr. O'Reilly.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Not so much a general comment. It is on page 32. I see that the capital budget for the department jumps around quite a bit. In 2016-2017, the actuals were $34.8 million. Last year, the original estimate was $13.1 million, and it ended up being $45.6 million. This year, it is about $14 million. What is going on with the expenditures from the department? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Mr. Heath.

Thank you, Mr. Heath. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I will just pick 2017-2018. To go from $13.1 million to $45.6 million in terms of the revised estimates, that is a pretty big jump. Are we just not planning facilities very well, or contractors are not building things on time? What is going on? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Mr. Heath.

Thank you, Mr. Heath. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the answer from the department. Can you just maybe give me two or three examples of large carry-overs, then, for 2017-2018? I know I might be jumping the gun in terms of the public accounts, but what were just two or three of the big carry-over items that did not get done? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, all O'Reilly. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I cannot remember at what point in the schedule the Department of Finance will bring forward supplementals identifying when carry-overs are required and when carry-overs are needed, but that is something that does come through this House. I cannot remember off the top of my head what the specifics of the last carry-over were, but we will look at the previous financial documents and provide the Member with a list of some of the carry-overs from the last budget.
