Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I want to talk a bit about what's not here. Earlier we did talk a bit about some of the long-term care beds that are in this capital plan that we'll be rolling out over the next couple of years, the beds in Hay River and Inuvik. There are also some facilities in some of the communities, the small communities, communities that have maybe 400 to 600 people. One that comes to mind, of course, is Fort Resolution. Fort Resolution has the Great Elders' Facility. The Great Elders' Facility can actually accommodate four individuals living right in the main facility. That main facility now houses social services and some home care.

I'm wondering if the Minister would look at having that place opened up again for residents, older residents, who may not be at the full level where long-term care is needed, but at a level where care is needed, and do the costing on a model such as that. My understanding, at this point, just from the numbers that we've been talking about for elders in a long-term care facility in Hay River, for example, which is generally where Fort Resolution elders go, would cost something in the neighbourhood of $550,000 to $600,000 per year. If the department comes up with something that is less cost for individuals who may not need the full long-term care but there's nothing in between, there's nothing in the gap, so right now they go right from their homes to long-term care, so in order to fill the gap that facility used to house people who were in there prior to long-term care. Some even passed away; they actually went palliative and passed away in that home.

I'm wondering if the Minister would take a second look at that, considering that it would be quite a savings to house people there as opposed to going directly into long-term care. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
