Those were all my questions on this topic. Thank you.

Thank you. That tells me why we don't see the 72 beds in here. Now, a number of years ago Avens did some site preparation to build a building that they called the pavilion, which was going to include long-term care beds, so how does that work into this plan? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm sorry; I was just grabbing my earpiece here. I don't think I heard an answer to my question about how to accommodate more campers in the NWT road- accessible parks. Thank you

Thank you. I'd like to turn now to page 36. The extended care facility, this is the one in the current Stanton is being expanded to 18 beds. When is this project going to be completed, please?

Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Thursday, September the 28, 2017, I will move the following motion: I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Great Slave, that, notwithstanding Rule 4, when the House adjourns on September 28, 2017, it shall be adjourned until Tuesday, October 3, 2017;

AND FURTHER, that at any time prior to October 3rd, 2017, if the Speaker is satisfied, after consultation with the Executive Council and Members of the Legislative Assembly, that the public interest requires that the House should meet at an earlier time during the adjournment, the Speaker may give notice...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to start by asking a general question that relates to page 5, which is the multi-year plan for each of the departments.

Although the Minister has an ambitious plan to create new long-term care beds in each region as well as healthcare facilities, I notice that the investment goes down next year and the year after. I'm wondering how it's going to be possible to build all these additional beds when the investment is going down. Thank you

I appreciate the Minister's commitment to the day shelter and sobering centre expenses. I am wondering if he will include, in the next business plan, an increase in the contribution to the operation and delivery of the street outreach program.

I understand that; so the reason that it is blank in 20202021 is because the planning has not been done for that year. Is that correct?

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services. As I pointed out in my statement, since the launch of the Yellowknife street outreach program, there has been a noticeable improvement in conditions downtown, not to mention a reduction in the costly use of both ambulance and hospital services. The city has announced its intention to continue the R.I.D.E. program while the new sobering centre location is renovated and opened. Can the Minister provide us an update on the new sobering centre? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. What I am struggling with is trying to develop the tourism economy and creating the infrastructure that will support that goal and how it fits into this planning cycle. I do not feel like I have definitive answers that link those things together. If the Minister could provide that, that would be helpful. Thank you.
