Any further questions from committee? I don't see any. We'll go back to page 41, Health and Social Services, programs, infrastructure investments, $28,415,000. Does committee agree?

Mahsi, committee. Committee, please turn to page 44, long-term and continuing care services, with information item on page 45. Any questions from committee? I think we were accommodating two Members that I already saw them heading to the airport. They're heading home. So that's the reason we put this up here. If no one has any questions, then I will move on with this. Ms. Nokleby.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm just curious to know, I note that we have four projects here under the long-term care facility; three are in planning. One is actually, I'm guessing, into construction. Can I get an idea of how much is going towards the planning and how much is going towards that construction Thank you.

Yes, thank you I said to the Members for Thebacha and Hay River South that they could forward their questions to me. So these projects -- two of these projects are impacted by the flooding that occurred last year and this year. They were planned for areas which flooded in the respective years. So that has put some uncertainty into the budget because the location is not certain. The one that is furthest ahead at this point in planning is the Inuvik long-term care. And I'll ask Mr. Heath to provide the specific answer to the Member's question. Thank you

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Our corporate capital planning process allocates, and this is not a hard and fast number, but approximately 5 percent of the overall capital budget in terms of planning and that's a needs assessment operational plan, functional program, schematic design, and we go as far to getting a class C cost estimate. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you for that. I guess then my next question is, it's my understanding there's been some issues with the ground for the site in Inuvik. I'm just wondering if that's going to then drive up the costs for the planning for that project, or are we able to accommodate that in house? Thank you

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So the overall planning budget in capital estimates is sufficient to do the planning for the Inuvik long-term care facility. We are piggyback off some studies happening with the hospital. There's geotechnical work going on there. We're doing that work in concert with this facility. And so basically any recommendations that end up addressing some of the foundations issues elsewhere in the community will be applied to this facility, and that's how we're able to accommodate. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you I just want to say I actually am really glad to hear that. When I was doing geotechnical work before, because the drill has to be mobilized into communities and that's -- Inuvik's likely they drive it in, but in other areas up in the Mackenzie Delta -- or Mackenzie Valley, you have to barge them in. So I just -- kudos to the department for trying to, like, you know, make use of drill time and engineers that have already been mobilized to sites. So I'd like to see more of that. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm done.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So I am just kind of -- now we have this new approach to budgeting. You know, if you look at the last three years, we spent $30 million, $40 million, $40 million, $7 million this year. So there's been a radical drop in spending on long-term care. And then I look over at the list of projects, and three are in planning. But -- which I get is why there's way less money here, I think we kicked some for planning. But can I just get a sense of the -- so this current fiscal that we're in right now, we're spending $40 million, and I assume some of the previous fiscal's carried over. But what are we actually building right now for long-term care? Like, what would that $40 million in the current fiscal be getting us? Is it all the Hay River facility that I see here being the only one that's not in planning? Thank you
