Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am pleased the Member has raised the question because we have just come out of discussion about it. I would like our president to elaborate a little further and go into more specific details regarding the question. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Again, I will call upon Mr. Anderson to respond to that specific question as it regards financing. Thank you.
Edap Program Review March 29th, 2000
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Again, I would ask the president to respond to that.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am going to ask the president to speak to the context of some rearranged financing as it pertains to seniors' housing.
Edap Program Review March 29th, 2000
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am going to answer one part of the question and turn the other part to the president of the Corporation.
We acknowledged in a meeting with the Inuvik seniors that we will endeavor to work with them over the next three years to help them reach their objective in terms of their own facility, similar to the Aven Senior Centre in Yellowknife. The critical problem we are having in Inuvik is not the matter of constructing a facility. The land is the big question, if I am correct. I do not see us having any problem in terms of dealing with the seniors' request, as well as Tuktoyaktuk 's request.
In terms of numbers, I am going to ask the president of the NWT Housing Corporation to address this, Mr. Chairman.
Edap Program Review March 29th, 2000
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We will endeavor to meet all the needs, as I expressed earlier, in the next four years. I think we can achieve that. That is my response to that comment. Thank you.
Edap Program Review March 29th, 2000
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Again, I would ask the president of the NWT Housing Corporation to answer that question.
Edap Program Review March 29th, 2000
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If the Member is speaking specifically about Yellowknife, then I would ask the president of the NWT Housing Corporation to respond to that question. Thank you.
Edap Program Review March 29th, 2000
Thank you, again, Mr. Chairman. That is the reason we are travelling to the various regions. From a regional perspective, we are finding that it is probably more feasible to use locally produced products, such as logs in the South Slave, probably in the Deh Cho. It varies from region to region. So it is important to know that if we are looking at the need to meet the overall housing needs and housing shortages. We do have to work within the specific budget.
In terms of developing vocational skills, we feel that a portion of that has to come from another department in terms of financial investment. Again, we are dealing with another department, so all this, Mr. Chairman, should come together by May 15, 2000. Hopefully, we can then share that very document with our fellow colleagues.

Mr. Chairman, there is no feasibility study that we are aware of that has been conducted to determine what the costs were. Thank you.
