Thank you, committee. Does committee agree that that concludes the Legislative Assembly?

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister Cochrane.

In that case, we could wait until the end. All right. Next we have Mr. Testart.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Minister Cochrane.

Thank you, Minister Cochrane. Mr. Vanthuyne.

Thank you, Mr. Ouellette. No further questions from committee? I see none. Committee continues with the Legislative Assembly, Office of the Clerk, infrastructure investment, 2018-2019, capital estimates for $390,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Just a reminder, all Members it's capital needs, it's not O and M, but I'll bring it over to Minister Cochrane. Thanks.

That took care of my next two questions so I'll just ask my last one here: will the Minister ensure that the community gets a vehicle to continue providing these essential services in Tsiigehtchic?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in a small community health centre, staff have to be ready for just about anything. Tsiigehtchic Health Services regularly offers services and support for everything from check-ups to homecare to emergency treatment, plus specialized services for students, elders, and those living with disabilities.

Mr. Speaker, we have a community health representative and a homecare worker resident. While a nurse visits from Inuvik weekly, and a doctor once a month, staff have to be on their toes, and they are often called to go above and beyond the call of duty.

Residents...

Can the Minister ensure that the department could look through their surplus vehicles, possibly in Inuvik? I'm sure they have a number of vehicles available that they can bring to the community of Tsiigehtchic to bridge this gap.
