Thank you, Mr. Chair. Actually, the department is working collaboratively with the NTHSSA and the Department of Infrastructure in finding a way to bring that facility back online for a program use that was similar to its original intent. We have a lot of work to do on that and there's some technical complications around that facility that we're working through, but we're planning for future use in the facility. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. And I thank both the Minister and the deputy minister for that. Is it -- or assistant deputy minister, although the last time I kept calling someone a higher title, they got the job so maybe it's good luck.
So more specifically, Mr. Chairman, can the assistant deputy minister or the Minister enlighten me as to two parts: The first part being the specific date on when the wellness recovery centre will open but, furthermore, what purpose are they working towards initiating a revised service at the TTC. In other words, is it compatible, does it work together, does it work in tandem, what's their objective now that it's been raised that this is something they're working on? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, if I -- the first part of the question is the occupancy date for the wellness and recovery centre would be late 2026. If -- and then for the TTC building, as the Member has referred to, I will put -- bring that over to -- pass that over to the ADM to respond to that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. As I mentioned in my previous comment, it is a program that was similar to there before I tied to the use. There are some technical complications with that building I won't get into. It's not necessarily in this budget. But we're really working hard to keep the program in line with the original scope which was linked to use. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'll tell you what, I won't belabour this point on the TTC, but I would like maybe just one clarification which is when can we anticipate some type of idea or plan, proposal, of this particular initiative and that probably would be enough specific to the TTC. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Unfortunately we don't have concrete timelines right now. We're working as diligently as we can. There's been tons of interest in this building from other NGOs and sectors around this and we've recently, you know, trying really hard to move as fast as we can, but right now I can't commit to the timelines unfortunately. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would appreciate any committee update you can provide on that. And I can appreciate that these are just plans, not initiated yet but probably sort of bigger picture scoping of the issue at this particular time, and that's fine. Is there any way they could provide a monthly cost as to what the current day shelter costs the government in its current form, in its current location, where the old visitors centre is.

Thank you, I'll accept that. If the Minister could also elaborate in a manner of, say, staffing capacity, things along that, contractual obligations, whether it's janitorial, whether it's support services, so I'm just looking at an overall cost of, yes, it costs X dollars, but this is what it takes to run it. If we could get sort of that compendium of information, I'll just leave it as a block rather than trying to tie up three or four more minutes of trying to make sure I hit every I and cross every T. Thank you.

Yes, thank you. At this time, you know, the plan is is to take the money from there where it currently is, which is the operations budget, in the operations budget and then we can move that to the new. But I can commit to making sure we have the numbers as best as we can to the Member.

Okay, thank you. Is there any further questions from the Members? Okay. Seeing none, continuing on.
I'm going to continue with health and social services, health and social services programs, infrastructure investments, $33,947,000. Does the committee agree?
