Thank you, Madam Chair. I welcome the Minister and staff here. I would just like to get some definition or characterization, so I’m using the right terms, of things like extended care versus long-term care, maybe a level of care. Could I get just a crash course on a few of those terms? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to the Minister for that. I would like to know how many GNWT personnel are we letting go as a result of this project and do we have any indication of how many of them will be picked up by the new provider. Is it possible to get a breakdown of those according to the various areas? I know there is building maintenance and so on by a very committed bunch of staff there, part of our GNWT staff that we’re losing. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I appreciate the 18th Assembly will have that role as do we. We are, right now, talking about the 17th Assembly as we set this up and discuss this budget. I would like to know there will be a commitment to get timely information from these monitoring teams to all Members of the Legislative Assembly.

Thanks again for that information. Just the last part, do we now, when we build buildings, routinely sort of consider the design of the roofing or the exterior with the potential of solar in mind?

Will that be all of them arriving at the same time? I guess while I’m asking that, what is the plan? Does it take particular qualifications for these aircraft or can those positions be filled with existing aircraft expertise in the NWT?

Just for the Yellowknife assets, what sort of schedule would you require to come up with those estimates considering the issues that you’ve mentioned there, speaking to the deputy minister, to have some sort of an idea to be able to move to a program of implementation?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I give notice that on Monday, October 5, 2015, I will move the following motion: now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Deh Cho, that the government work with the Northwest Territories Disabilities Council and community councils to assess the reasons for the failure to implement the action plan formulated in 2008;

And further, that the government work with the Disabilities Council to propose the best way to actively move forward with a Disabilities Action Plan;

And furthermore, that the government produce a response for consideration by the House by...

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thanks to the deputy minister for that information. I’m wondering: after lighting, considering electricity demand, what is our next biggest opportunity for energy efficiency improvements in Yellowknife assets.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wouldn’t doubt they are listening, and the most important question will be, when will this happen? When will this be in place? Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Would the Minister be able to estimate what our approximate electricity demand is of all our assets in Yellowknife? I know I’m asking for some details here. Thank you.
