Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to take this opportunity on our second day of session to congratulate the Minister of Housing and Minister responsible for Seniors on the one year anniversary of the grand opening and ribbon cutting of the seniors home in Fort Good Hope that they both were at on February 16th, 2021, Mr. Speaker.

The opening of this seniors home addressed one of the priorities set out by the 19th Assembly of seniors aging in place. I was happy to hear of its opening, and I am sure many of the seniors in the region were happy to have a facility built for them to reside in and continue to be cared by with facilities nearby. And Mr. Speaker, not only was this facility built to house seniors, it was going to be housing for a new community home caretaker fulfilling another priority of this Assembly by creating new employment in small communities.

However, Mr. Speaker, at this one-year anniversary of the opening of the Fort Good Hope seniors centre, it has not, in fact, opened, Mr. Speaker. It was supposed to open in summer and then the new year and here we are one year later, and it is not open. Despite asking many questions of multiple Ministers, I'm not really sure what is going on here.

There is some dispute between the contractor, the Housing Corp., and the office of the fire marshal. It's a very technical dispute about the building code. It's not at all a problem I understand or know the solution to, but I'm not at all convinced that this is a one-time problem that the GNWT has solved, and I'm not convinced this is the last building we are going to open that is actually not opened. I will have questions for the Minister of Housing about when this building is going to open. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
