Thank you. It also addresses pedestrian access, if I could just get a clarification of what that means? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It is pedestrian access when it comes to the emergency access component of the existing health centre building.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I noticed the mechanical upgrades for the HVAC system in the building or the health centre in Fort Good Hope. I share the experience that when I went there, actually, a couple of years ago, the building was shut down because it was just too unbearably hot that particular summer. I just share that in hopes that other buildings in other communities might be audited the same way. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think I must have been there that summer because I have been in that building when it is incredibly hot. This is an air conditioner for that building in Fort Good Hope. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

That is why I referred to it as an HVAC. It is an acronym for the same system, which I am very grateful to see in the books for. Mahsi.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I think this is where the Stanton Renewal Project is located in the capital budget. Can the Minister just tell us: are we still on track to have the project completed? I thought it was supposed to be done in November. We are almost at November. When is the transition to the new facility going to start? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the project is on target. The building will be handed over to us on November 30th, at which point we will be stepping up to get occupation of that building. The go-live date, the first patient day, is May 26th of 2019.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I see that the long-term care facility upgrade is again in this capital budget. It was carried over, I believe, from last year. Why was that carry-over necessary? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, there's sort of three different long-term care projects here. Can the Member maybe highlight which one, or is it all three that she's asking about?

Mr. Chair, you may be the best judge of that, but I was under the impression that we were on administrative and support services, not community health programs. Your observation will be appreciated here.
