Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I'm wondering when the building will be completely renovated, done, and ready for us to start using as a long-term care facility. Thank you.

Thank you, Member for Kam Lake. Minister of Health and Social Services.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The design and process is still under tender and, as this is a multi-year project, we are still waiting to work out some of the details on the design. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister of Health and Social Services. Member for Kam Lake.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I'm also wondering the same for the long-term care facilities in both Inuvik and Hay River. Thank you.

Thank you. Minister of Health and Social Services.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The design is still under way for the 48-bed long-term care facilities in Inuvik and Hay River. However, as a result of continuing rising constructions costs and permafrost challenging soil conditions in Inuvik, the original cost estimates for the projects are currently under review. You know, we've looked at the designs for the facilities, and, due to COVID, there are potential changes to how we plan the facilities going forward, for example, the size of the facility and the types of common areas. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Minister of Health and Social Services. Member for Kam Lake.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I am going to move on to the community counselling information system. I am wondering if the Minister could explain to us what that is and how that's different than the electronic patient system that our primary clinics and health centres currently use. Thank you.

Thank you, Member for Kam Lake. Minister of Health and Social Services.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The community counselling information system is funding for the implementation of a computerized system for the management of mental health and addiction clients. Can I get clarification on what we're comparing it to? Thank you.

Thank you, Minister of Health and Social Services. Member for Kam Lake.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I am just wondering why we need a separate system for mental health and why we can't just use the electronic systems that we currently use for people of the Northwest Territories when they go to seek advice or medical assistance from their physicians. Thank you.

Thank you, Member for Kam Lake. Minister of Health and Social Services.

Thank you, Madam Chair. At this time, I don't know. We can definitely find out and get back. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister of Health and Social Services. Member for Kam Lake.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I appreciate that. My last question is in regards to the organ and tissue donation registry. What I am wondering is, if the NWT decided to go for an opt-out rather than an opt-in version of organ and tissue donation down the road, how that would change the budget allocated to that type of a registry. Would it drive it up? Would it remain the same? Is it a base cost? Thank you.

Thank you, Member for Kam Lake. Minister of Finance.

Sorry for being presumptive, Madam Chair. Thank you. This is one project that certainly has had some delays in terms of the finalization of the agreement because of challenges in terms of people being available over the last few months. As far as if there is a complete change in the project and there would certainly be a change in the contracts that are already being developed, which would no doubt lead to changes in the budget. At this point, the projected cost is actually below budget, based on the model that they are using. Madam Chair, at this point, I know that is not entirely the answer the Member is looking for. I think perhaps what we could do between the Minister of Health and Social Services and myself is to certainly provide some more detail, if it would be of assistance to the Member, outlining the nature of the project as it is right now and then look at that going forward. Again, right now, there is a certain design in place, and that is what is being developed in terms of project contracting. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Minister of Finance. Member for Hay River South.

Thank you, Madam Chair, just a question with respect to the two long-care facilities there. I just see that the Hay River one is $5.6 million and the Inuvik is $1.4 million roughly. What is the difference there?

Thank you, Member for Hay River South. Minister of Finance.

Madam Chair, thank you. That is a level of specificity that I don't have here. I do know contracts are currently in place for both projects. It shouldn't be difficult to delineate a breakdown for the Member. I can commit to getting that information to him.

Thank you, Minister of Finance. Member for Hay River South.
