Well, that sounds promising. I am sure that the larger communities, like, for example, Fort McPherson or Aklavik, would be willing do that. There are a lot more people in the community and a bigger demand with elders and people that need these services. I know that it is a great benefit to the communities, and I look forward to that full-time position in the near future. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister answered a part of this next question, but I'll ask: what can people do to protect themselves from the measles virus?.

Right now, how many cases of confirmed cases of measles are there in the Northwest Territories?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize Ruth Caroll, originally from Fort McPherson, who is living in Whitehorse at the moment, who is our interpreter for the Gwich'in language. I would like to thank you for all of the work that you have done this week, and safe travels back home. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just under the government Single Window Service Centres, I know that we discussed it in the past, but it is a great program in the communities. In my riding, in communities like Tsiigehtchic with no services in the community, this is a real benefit.

One thing that we were asking about is making these positions full-time. Right now, they are part-time, and they have a big workload, especially at times in the fall and even this time of year, mainly because it seems like every year elders have to fill out these same forms, whether it is home heating subsidies or help with...

What can unvaccinated people do if they suspect they have been exposed to the measles virus?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. A follow-up to my Member's statement, I have a few questions for the Minister of Health and Social Services. I'd like to ask the Minister: how did this outbreak of measles happen? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We always talk about aging in place, here. Would the Minister work with the Minister of Health to cost-share on a gazebo for elders to enjoy the summer, to visit with one another, and also to visit with community members? As I mentioned, it's great scenery there, at the location that they have, but it's a shame that our elders do have to sit outside to enjoy fresh air facing away from the mountains. You know, we should be making use of the scenery there. It's a good place to enjoy life. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Simpson. Next on the list, we have Mr. Testart.

I know this has been an ongoing issue since the opening. You know, this could have been avoided if the department didn't try to cut costs during construction. I'd like to ask the Minister: is there any further work needed on the Joe Greenland Centre, or will this solve the heating problems?
