We’ve had this discussion over an extended period, a long time period here, discussing those types of needs. It would be good to be able to provide this official long-term care in all of the communities so that no one ever has to leave their communities, no elders will ever have to leave their community. It’s a matter of money. It’s a matter of funding in order for us to provide a long-term care facility.

Let’s just look at one community that I have a few numbers on, Aklavik. Aklavik is a good one to go to. In order to operate the facility that’s available in Aklavik as a long-term care...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, I do.

Thank you. What we have available in Hay River, if we’re not talking about any other communities, would be the current long-term care beds at H.H. Williams, and unless we’re able to come back to the Legislative Assembly to get long-term care beds added to the long-term care facility of Woodland Manor, then we would keep the long-term care beds at H.H. Williams open until that addition, I guess, would be added to Woodland. It’s just that if we are not to use any facilities outside of Hay River to house the people that are in long-term care beds, then we would have no option but to keep that...

We are currently looking at what we’re referring to as a continuum of care for seniors. That is looking at all the programs, and a priority is to try to keep seniors in their private homes to provide supports, perhaps making their units barrier free, working with NWT Housing Corporation or seniors friendly. That’s another level also, below barrier free, and so on. Right to where they’re starting with individuals attempting to keep them in their home as long as possible, right through to extended care and trying to fit the seniors into all of those supportive programs, and trying to keep them...

Our philosophy is to try to house the people as close to home as possible, so that the facility that’s being built in Norman Wells really is designed and built to accommodate the Sahtu region and new long-term care expansion in Behchoko is designed to accommodate the Tlicho citizens. So along that philosophy, our intention would be to provide long-term care or extended care as close to home as possible.

So the people from the H.H. Williams that are in extended care, if they are eligible for long-term care as opposed to extended care, they will end up, first priority would be the extended care...

Thank you, Madam Chair. I’m just going to have the deputy minister, she has the detail on what this money is going to be used for, to do a response.

Mr. Chair, the last cost that we have scheduled in and at which point we expect completion is 2014-15.

Yes, Madam Chair, I do.

Mr. Chair, they are required in the health centres that are in the regional centres, we would likely see one. I don’t have the information. I would likely see one that would be incorporated into probably the health centre in Norman Wells, the health centre/long-term care centre. Also Fort Smith would have one included in the health centre there. The health centre in Hay River, as I indicated earlier, and likely Fort Simpson as well. Again, I don’t have the information on the Fort Simpson one here also.

I think the most youth we send out for treatment in one fiscal year would be five. Youth treatment is an interesting thing because most youth treatment isn’t voluntary, it would be youth treatment that’s forced upon the youth to go for treatment. Very few youth at their age would admit that they have an addiction issue or would need some treatment. They don’t recognize that until much later in life. Most youth that are treated are actually forced to go to treatment. We do that approximately, like I said, to a maximum of about five per year. We really have to determine the value of money for...
