Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 19)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Sorry I got ahead of myself on page 181, there. The homecare and support services I was referring to a little earlier is kind of in partnership with Housing Corp. I would just like to know when this position will be put out to the community of Fort McPherson, just so we’re not rushing around when the actual facility is completed. Is that part of Health? I believe, in Aklavik, the Housing Corporation actually put out the notice and everything, but I’d just like a little information on that. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned, we are so close to completing this project. With a little extra help from the ministry, I could see us completing this project this winter. Will the Minister ensure that the community is approved before the winter months come up because, as I mentioned, we have a lot of preparation to prepare for our January to April? That is the small timeframe we have to complete this work. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I realize the Minister is anticipating a large volume of applications. I was told last week we were first in line, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the Minister: when does the Minister expect our proposal for Willow River to be approved? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I’d to welcome first my two Pages from Aklavik, Taylor McLeod, and Gord Papik. Also their chaperone and my CA, Liz Wright. I’d also like to recognize Jozef and Lesa Carnogursky. Joseph is running for the GTC President right now and I wish him well. Also James Pokiak and his wife. I’ve attended a number of meetings with James in the past and it’s good to see him here. Thank you.
