Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think I must have been there that summer because I have been in that building when it is incredibly hot. This is an air conditioner for that building in Fort Good Hope. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The intention was a two-year project, starting in the previous fiscal year, $3.9 million previous year, $2.4 million this year. Due to the delays from the organization, we may end up having a carry-over there. We are trying really hard not to, but it may happen.

That is correct, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It was never intended to be done in this fiscal year. We are intending to start, break ground, and start the construction. We have been working with Avens. A number of months ago, in a meeting between staff and the department, the COO at the time asked us to stand down and put the project on hold temporarily while they worked out some technical issues and some program issues that they wanted to deal with.

We have been encouraging them to move. We are ready to go. There are some questions that we need them to answer. We want to keep working with them. I understand there...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, over the years, here, in the Northwest Territories, we have had many of our smaller communities where there are no body holding facilities or body holding space express a desire to have those facilities in their communities.

As we have rolled out infrastructure, new health centres, and those types of things, we have been incorporating those into the building to ensure that we have proper infection control, air handling, and all those types of things. It has become clear that there are a number of facilities that probably won't be replaced due to our 20-year plan...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, our priority, as the Health and Social Services system, is to ensure that our staff have adequate space to perform their duties as described in their job descriptions, but also have adequate space for client interaction, which includes meeting certain standards here and there.

We have shared and continue to work with Infrastructure as they explore options for different opportunities or facilities in Hay River. I know that staff from Infrastructure and staff from Health and Social Services went down and toured the health centre, as well as other facilities, to...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I have two individuals with me. On my left is Perry Heath, who is the director of infrastructure planning, and on my right is Derek Elkin, assistant deputy minister, Health and Social Services.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. They are both 48-bed facilities that we are looking at. The costs are relatively split down the middle, recognizing it is probably a little bit more in the Beaufort Delta because the cost of construction is higher there. We are looking at both 48-bed facilities. It is close, but not exact.

A number of years ago, when we moved Building Stronger Families, I said in the media that we needed to make sure that we hold our staff accountable for this action. This is a plan that needs to be done by the staff of the Northwest Territories. It is sad to say that, when I met with staff in May and again last week to review progress that we have made to date, not one person in that department who was there last week was there when we rolled out Building Stronger Families. We have gone through a complete management change, some because they needed to retire, some because they needed to go. We...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we are committed to getting the 48 beds in Hay River. We have to get the staff out of the old H.H. Williams. I have been pushing the Department of Infrastructure to find a way to get them out of there as quickly as possible, so that the next step can include the teardown of the old H.H. Williams, so that we can begin the process of breaking ground on the long-term care facility in Hay River.

We have also been having conversations with potential partners who have expressed an interest in owning and operating and being a partner in the delivery of a long-term care...
