Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Well, I tried. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister comment on whether it's contemplated that a new electronic health records system will have ongoing licensing costs until such a system is sunsetted and replaced at the end of its life and/or for evolving technology. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, the electronic medical -- or health record system will have ongoing licensing costs, and these costs have been included into the department's short- and long-term operating and system replacement planning. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, one of the things the Department of Health and Social Services has implemented with respect to social workers when they leave the position, their exit interviews. I'd like to ask the Minister, what are the top three reasons identified in exit data for child protection workers and social workers, front line social workers, and how many of those reasons relate directly to high caseloads? Thank you.

Thank you, Member from Range Lake. Minister of Health and Social Services.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I do not have that information here today. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I just want to confirm, does that data exist, Mr. Speaker?

Thank you, Minister of Health and Social Services. Final supplementary. Member from Range Lake.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Well, is it being used in these improvements the department's working on? Because, again, we've had questions about, are you listening to the concerns of front line workers. So the question today is, if you have the data, if it does exist, how are you using it to improve the quality of life for those workers so we can fill those vacancies, keep kids safe, and support families in the Northwest Territories? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, Mr. Speaker, the data is -- that we do obtain is used in order to make the -- to look at the changes that -- and right now where they're currently doing the review and they're providing the different supports and putting those in place, they're also -- with the training, they're also looking at -- and from the high caseloads, they're -- you know, they're looking -- like I said before, they're looking at the use of the other employees within the system. So we have family preservation workers, we have cultural workers, and if there's ways to decrease the amount of work that's on the child protection worker that's not actually connected to their statutory duty that they could pass on to some of the other staff, we're utilizing those recommendations. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Minister of Health and Social Services. Oral questions. Member from Yellowknife Centre.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to try a different subject, which would be news to some folks over there. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to ask the Minister of housing if she could give this House an update on the Tony Whitford building that's being constructed on the 50th Street downtown. There's a lot of buzz in the community about the new Whitford building and they're pretty excited to see it, almost at six floors, and things are shaping into a wonderful home for many families we look forward to. So can the Minister start off by giving us a construction and timeline update on the Whitford building. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister of Yellowknife Centre. Minister responsible for Housing NWT.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And, Mr. Speaker, just to clarify, it's not the Whitford building yet. We do have to respect the honours advisory committee process, and that's through the Speaker's office, so let's respect that. In terms of the building itself, I mean the sixth floor, with the mass timber walls, that's being built today, we're hoping to have a topping off ceremony probably the last week in June. The building will be entirely enclosed. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And that may be technically a fact it hasn't been named that yet, but the community is starting to recognize it as the Whitford building, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, the next question which I was hoping we'd get to -- and I don't know if she's just giving me air time. I thought she was going to jump to it, which is when do we anticipate this building to be ready for occupancy? At one time they were talking 2026, and I heard from people internally in the system saying stop saying that because now it's into 2027. So, Mr. Speaker, can the Minister give this House an update when they think the building will be ready for occupancy and when they think they'll be able to get people actually in there. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, I was giving myself air time. No, just kidding. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is early 2027. That's the expectation. I don't have an exact date, but early 2027 was the reassurance from Housing NWT. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Minister responsible for Housing NWT. Final supplementary. Member from Yellowknife Centre.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The next question I've raised repeatedly with the Minister -- and she's already nodding even though she hasn't heard the question. The last bit and phase of this particular initiative of the Whitford building has come up in different phases, but they seem to keep forgetting the local MLA and all Yellowknife MLAs on the Whitford building. I am just wondering if the Minister would encourage the department and anyone else to invite not only me as the MLA where it's built, my colleagues throughout the House, and lastly, Mr. Speaker, most importantly, the Yellowknife Housing Authority because they will eventually be deemed as the administrators of the building, and they are our key partner to make this a success. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, agreed, and absolutely there will be an invite. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister responsible for Housing NWT. Oral questions. Member from Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to welcome the Minister back into the chamber --
