Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to talk a bit about the Family Support Centre in Hay River. It is an organization that provides shelter and assistance to women and children who are escaping family violence. The reason I bring it up during this department is because they are in need of a new facility, and that facility would involve federal funding, and the Department of Finance would be the department who would assist the facility and go after that funding.

Many of the Ministers and myself have toured this facility. The facility they were in until recently, it has a lot of issues, and it is actually slated for demolition. They have gotten a plan in place to build the new facility. They have applied to the federal government for funding to demolish, and then prepare the site, and they have moved into a temporary site provided by the Town of Hay River. The temporary site provides a third fewer beds than the shelter used to, and right now, they are sort of in limbo. They are in a temporary site. They need a new facility. They have been doing a lot of work themselves. They are getting a plan together. They are raising funds, and essentially what they need is a 25 per cent contribution coming from their own fundraising from the GNWT, whoever it might be, and they need that so that they can approach the feds and get the other 75 per cent of the contribution.

I know this has been brought to the Minister's attention, and I was wondering: has the department looked into this, and have they reached out to the family support centre? Have they reached out to the federal government, and would they be willing to contribute this so that we have a functioning family support centre in Hay River? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
