Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the Member is correct. The project experienced some timeline delays due to the winter road delivery. Substantial completion, though, is expected in 2019. A multi-year construction contract is in place. Thank you.

Thank you. Mr. Thompson.

I thank you, and I thank the Minister for that. So when in 2019? Is it going to be done in the summertime, or is it going to be done in December? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Minister.

We will have to work with the contractor to come up with an exact timeline, and we will share that with the Member for Nahendeh, and I will stop there. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Mr. Thompson.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for that. I am just trying to make sure I can get this information to the council, so I greatly appreciate the Minister getting that information. As soon as we get it, or even if the Minister or the department can get back to the community, that would be great. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Minister.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Like I said, we will work with the contractor to come up with a completion timeline. I am sure Health will be aware of a completion timeline, and we will share that information with the Member for Nahendeh. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Nothing further from Mr. Thompson. Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, as you are aware, the Town of Hay River provides a lot of the long-term care needs for my community of Fort Resolution. I was just wondering what the timeline is on the 48-bed facility, the long-term care facility, in Hay River? It indicates a carry-over, but I was just wondering if I could get the Minister to give me an idea when the project will be actually started and when it's expected to be completed?

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, my understanding is a site selection is in process, designed to start in the summer of 2018, with construction in the spring of 2019. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, so the construction would be starting next summer. I am wondering how much of the project is expected to be completed in that fiscal year? Thank you.

Thank you. Minister McLeod.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we are not sure how much would be completed. I do not even believe we have a contract in place for the construction. We do not have a design. Once we have that information, or once Health has that information, then we would be in a better position to share it with the Member and with committee. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, on the health centre in Fort Resolution, the replacement health centre for Fort Resolution, there is almost $1.8 million in carry-over. My understanding is that it will be ready for move-in sometime early this fall. I was wondering if that is still on schedule. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, on that particular project, a substantial completion was issued in March of 2018. Carry-over is required to address seasonal work site and building deficiencies. A contract is in place, and once those deficiencies are addressed, then I would assume that they would move into the facility. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I guess I am also concerned about the large lapses in funding for the Stanton Renewal Project and the Extended Care Project, which isn't going to be in the old Stanton hospital. Those two projects are in my riding. If I look at the total of them, it is over $40 million, which is almost a quarter of the total supplementary appropriation that the Cabinet is seeking at this point. Sorry, they're carry-overs, not lapses.

We had some explanation of what is happening with the Stanton Renewal Project, but can I get some explanation of what is happening with the Extended Care Project, why close to $9 million was lapsed, and whether that is going to affect the overall schedule for those beds? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Minister.
