Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will have questions for the Minister responsible for Seniors, Mr. Abernethy. As I indicated in my statement, seniors are a valuable asset in the Northwest Territories and we know there is an expanding group of people. What is the Government of the Northwest Territories doing to improve the seniors’ quality of life in the Northwest Territories? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It’s hard to get all of the questions in because there are a lot of issues that we deal with as Regular Members here on this side. I guess my question would be concerning funding.

Has the department or the Minister looked at the funding that we give to seniors, whether it’s through senior groups, whether it’s through fuel subsides? Are we looking at expanding funding that we give to seniors?

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Next I have on the list Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Next on my list I have Mr. Dolynny.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. To the motion.

Thank you, Minister Abernethy. I will open the floor to general comments. Mr. Dolynny.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister Miltenberger.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. I’ll go to Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. We’ve already heard from the chair of the Standing Committee on Social Programs. Mr. Minister, do you have witnesses to bring into the Chamber?

Ms. Bisaro.
