Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, there's also another element about neighbourhood stuff. So the impacts on the neighbourhood. I'm curious as to -- with respect to this initiative, and I'm referring to the dollar value, is any money within the overall scope of the project or initiative helping to address some of the neighbourhood concerns that this will have? Thank you.

Thank you. I'll go to the Minister of Finance.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the detail around that, I think I would have to go to the Department of Health and Social Services. So I can get that and provide that in due course. Yes, I'll make sure that the Members get that. Thank you.

Thank you. I'm going to go to the Member of YK Centre.

I'm going to go to Minister Wawzonek.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And thank you for the clarity on the question. So this funding really is for the construction of the facility and not for the operations of the facility and that while during capital planning there would be consideration given to what operational impacts there might be, this funding specifically is just the infrastructure component, and what type of operations and what kind of engagement processes they may undertake would be part of the operational plan that would fall under Health and Social Services. Thank you.

Thank you. The Member from YK Centre.

If I could get some detail on that and, of course, I still would like the other information already offered. Just to confirm from the Member -- Minister, and I'll -- that's enough for now.

Thank you. I'll go to the Minister Wawzonek.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, I will endeavour to get a more detailed update of the costs, the timing, and whatever information may be available. I mean, again, noting that operations are two years out but we can at least provide some sense of what the planning process is like. Thank you.

Thank you. I just wanted to remind Members we are considering capital investment expenditures -- sorry, expenditures of $1,253,000. Please ask questions only related to this activity. The next Member I have is Frame Lake.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I just wanted to follow up a little bit on the line of questioning that my colleague from Yellowknife Centre was asking about.

So I know the department had previously communicated publicly that they were going to have the tender out in January and that would put them on a timeline to finish in 2026. So to get to the specific question, is the current delay, is there any risk of it affecting the $24 million that we've received from the federal government? Does that funding have a timeline associated with it that we need to meet? Thank you.

Thank you. I'm going to go to Minister Wawzonek.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, fortunately, the short answer is I don't believe that it does affect that funding and that although there was some delay from the January -- or some slippage from the January date, we are still looking to and expecting to have the tender issuance out by March of 2024. So hopefully not significant enough of a slippage that it will cause delay in the 2026 date that I mentioned earlier. Thank you.

Thank you. I'm going to go to the Member from Frame Lake.

Thank you. I just want to -- does the Minister know if there is a timeline at all? Like, it sounds like we are within it so that's good to hear, but is there a timeline under which this funding would lapse?

I'll go to Minister Wawzonek.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So I mean, the current -- there's always at some point a challenge that money would lapse but at this moment in time, with the tender due out in March and the current project schedule that I described targeting fall of 2026, that would be well within the funding envelope that we have. Thank you.

Okay, thank you. I just want to make sure that we're still on the administrative and support services. I'm going to go back to the Member from Frame Lake.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That's it for questions on this section.

Thank you. I'm going to continue on. I'm going to go the Member from YK North.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So I do have one question on administrative and support services, and then I'll come back later for my follow-up questions about the YK Wellness and Recovery Centre under health and social programs. Okay.

So following up about the new database to support the professional licensing office, so I'm aware that last year, health Ministers from across Canada, including the NWT, committed to a new process that would allow physicians who are licensed in one part of Canada and, if they're in good standing, to practice in other parts of Canada. So that's called pan-Canadian licensing. And so given that this creates an online application for getting licensed in the NWT, are there plans to ensure that this database could also move us closer towards being part of this pan-Canadian licensing potentially sort of interacting with databases in other parts of Canada? Is that at all part of the scope of this project?

Thank you. I'm going to go to Minister Wawzonek.
