Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, over the last few months, I have been talking about the Stanton building and, not the Stanton building, I guess, but the old Stanton Hospital. I have been asking for the possibility of having a nursing school, homecare, and so on, to training homecare people, all the various positions that are needed to do homecare. I'm wondering if there's any thought at all in the department to consider Stanton Hospital as a school for nurses. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to thank the Minister for that. That is very good. I guess one more thing on that is that I am asking the Minister to do that adjustment so that individuals who are hitting a certain income threshold and then they are maxing out at a certain percentage do not start to exceed that once they start paying their own power. I don’t know if that is more of a comment, I suppose. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I would like to ask the Minister if he would consider making that adjustment for the bottom and, like, the power subsidy program, where, in the wintertime, everybody is subsidized at the Yellowknife rate, up to $1,000, and, in the summertime, everybody is adjusted to the Yellowknife rate, up to $600. I would like to ask the Minister if that portion of the power bill could make an adjustment to the actual benches of the rent.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I move that the chair rise and report progress. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in my Member's statement I talked about a couple of possibilities that I have been thinking about for post-secondary education in the NWT. I recognize that one of the ideas that I have around turning the Stanton Hospital into a school has a lot of logistics to it, and it would take a full department or several departments to work on it, but I would like to ask the Minister of Education questions on what is possible in Fort Smith.

In the foundational review, it was contemplated to move a lot of the programs out of Fort Smith. I would like to ask the Minister...

Now we have an opportunity to engage the federal government and other non-governmental organizations to make a school such as this a reality. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, I understand. Swimming pools and things like that, I recognize are outside of the core. I am beginning to understand what that is. When the department does infrastructure deficit, they are looking at the core and they are comparing apples to apples. That's what I want to hear. Thank you for the explanation to the Minister, and that is all I have for now, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am kind of understanding the core as, like, maybe this is the basic infrastructure that would maintain the city or maintain a town or a hamlet. Maybe I could just get the Minister to give me an example of what would not be considered core infrastructure. I don't see the difference between core infrastructure and infrastructure, period. I was wondering if maybe I could just get that explanation. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

At least, I guess, in communities that are considered not to have accumulated deficit, the money stays the same? I am going to take the answer "no" as meaning that.

My question is: when you accumulate a capital deficit, it is based on depreciation, I am assuming. I am going to ask the question, though: is the capital deficit accumulation based on the depreciation of the assets you have? Thank you.

Lastly, I guess, is the more difficult of all of the tasks that I think we should be working on in post-secondary education, and that is the nursing school in Yellowknife, here, for the old Stanton. I realize that the Department of Health has other uses for that, but I still feel that there's room for that place to become a good nursing school for homecare, that has so much potential for our communities and our elders. It is also a great way to keep the elders in their home as long as possible and save a lot of money in the system by not having them go into long-term care. So I'd like to ask...
