Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the answer from the Minister and that clarification. As long as we are doing something to make sure that our patients are looked after properly, whether it is time or whatever process the department has come up with, I think it's great to hear. I am looking forward to sharing this information with the residents in my riding. My final question: does the department have a protocol for aftercare, especially for out-of-town patients? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I appreciate the Minister's answer. At no point in time am I saying that the staff are not doing the job. It's just there have been some different processes to it, and I thank the Minister and the staff for dealing with this in such a proactive way. My second question: does the department have a mandatory time that a patient needs to stay in a hospital or a health centre before being released to ensure the person is able to leave and the medication is working?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the answer from Mr. Martin. I guess my next question is: when are we going to be fulfilling the whole mandate with the RCMP housing? Because now we're only talking three duplexes. I know in my riding in Fort Simpson, we're supposed to be looking at a minimum of six units, and Hay River is on the board; so is Inuvik and that. Can the Minister please provide us with an update when we could see these other units being implemented into the communities? Thank you. Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to recognize the LGANT 2017 award winner, and a constituent of the Nahendeh riding. Welcome, Ruby Jumbo, to the Legislative Assembly. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Is this going to be all done within the next six months? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that. At least, now I can go back to the community and explain to the band and the hamlet what is going to happen there. My next question is: where are these guys going to be housed? Right now, you are renting out Aviva Enterprises there. Has the corporation found a spot that they are going to have the office and the yard for the material? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I appreciate the Minister doing that. Now, going on to local housing authorities here, in particular, the new one in Fort Liard, when will we start seeing staff besides the manager there being implemented? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I appreciate the answer from Mr. Williams and the Minister. Can this information be shared with ordinary MLAs so that we then can also be advocates to our boards to look at tapping into this program? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Don't get me wrong. I think going from 12 to 15 is huge. It does not sound like it, but it is, and I honestly think this is a very good step as we move forward. So, I guess in regards to this youth training and this opportunity to tap into federal funding, does the corporation work with the LHOs to get this information out there and access it? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to table two documents. The first one is from the Canadian Press, September 11, 2016, article, "Site C project not keeping with Aboriginal treaty rights or UN declaration: Bellegard"; and the second one is from Amnesty International in 2016, "The Point of No Return, Human Rights of Indigenous People in Canada Threatened by the Site C Dam." Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
