Thank you, Madam Chair. With the building that goes up there, will that be tied into the existing 10-unit extended care, long-term care facility there now? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes. It's my understanding that there will be a connection between the current Woodland Manor and what will become a new long-term care facility that is currently the H.H. Williams Hospital in need of demolition, once the replacement for the administration building is completed for Hay River.

Thank you, Madam Chair. With respect to the administration building, when do we expect that to be completed and the people who are in the hospital right now, the old hospital, to be moved over?

Thank you, Madam Chair. The work on the administrative building is progressing very quickly in Hay River and very good. It is anticipating that, as early as this spring, we will be in a situation where we can move staff in there. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The hope is: if everything all goes well, as soon as we move the staff out of that building, we will be in a position to initiate demolition and reclamation of the site, i.e. this spring. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Will the new facility be able to accommodate dementia patients and at what levels? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. It's my understanding that all new builds will be what they call "dementia compatible," which means there will be security features in place to keep dementia patients safe. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. What will happen with the existing Woodland Manor? Are there any plans to do renovations or retrofits to that, and what would the purpose of it be? Thank you, Madam Chair.
