Yes, I will commit to doing a pilot project of at least one four-plex for seniors in a small community. I will not commit --

So I can say that the five sports and rec organizations will be at the table. I can get a list of the five. I knew it yesterday, I'm thinking I'm forgetting a few of them today so I don't want to state and forget some of them, so I will provide that to the Members. The timeline is difficult. It's really hard to say what time that it will be finished. I am respectful that there are some issues with the groups; they might not want to hear about overlaps, there might be some contention. So I can commit, though, that it is a priority for me and that as soon as the results are in I will get that to...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll let Mr. Martin address that question.

Again, public safety is a concern not only to the Member but to all of us on Cabinet as well as the Regular Members. We are conscious of our fiscal reality. But I can commit to working with Cabinet, the Minister of Finance and Cabinet, my colleagues, to see if we can address the issue.

Currently, we don't have anything within our application process that I know that states what programs or financial amounts that we dedicate specifically for seniors. But, like stated in my previous answer, we are bringing all of the organizations together to see if we can actually address better the needs of the residents of the Northwest Territories. I will carry forward the Member's comments to that meeting with the organizations and see if there is more that we can do.

I'll let Mr. Martin answer the question.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Department of Municipal and Community Affairs actually has done a lot of work with looking at the ground ambulance and the highway rescue services that we provide to the Northwest Territories. We do have some agreements in place where the municipalities that have the ambulance services actually are able to extend their boundaries outside of their municipalities. That is a coordinated approach that we do. The team was the Departments of Justice, Transportation, Health and Social Services, and Municipal and Community Affairs, who took the lead on that committee that...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would be remiss if I didn't also recognize Lorraine, Annemieke and Sammie as the Minister responsible for the Status of Women. I'm really grateful that you're here. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will address both of them actually. We will change the name from affordable housing for the RCMP. That is an easy fix. We won't do it in this, but we will do it moving forward. The second question was the units that are the four-plexes. They aren't in this business plan because actually they are in this current year's business plan. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

So the auditor does work with the management team within the departments when they are looking at recommendations when they are addressing what is going to be in the actual audit. That is done by the management team, but like I said again, that information is not share with the Minister until it is publicly released. That was only publicly released to me within the last couple of days.
