Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That wasn’t too encouraging, the Minister’s last answer there. I find it kind of hard to believe that you’re not going to provide similar services throughout the Northwest Territories for people in the same situations, same status, and yet people are treated differently. I’d like to know, from the Mackenzie Delta riding, when can I see respite care being delivered in the communities in the Mackenzie Delta.

Does committee agree that this concludes Committee Report 4-16(5)?

Mr. Speaker, also in my statement I made reference to the elders in our communities. In Fort McPherson alone, I mentioned we have 66 elders over the age of 70 to 97 years old. Those elders we want to keep in our communities. The facility in Inuvik, the long-term care, is full. There are 25 beds. It’s full. We have eight beds in the Joe Greenland Centre. The only place those individuals can go is either to Inuvik, but if it’s full, they will have to send them to other facilities such as Yellowknife and elsewhere, and that’s not what we want, Mr. Speaker.

I’d like to ask the Minister exactly what...
