Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for that answer. I guess, the MLAs who are affected by this decision, can the Minister make a commitment to keep us updated on this? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions will be for the Minister of Health and Social Services. Since our last sitting, I have heard of individuals who had stroke symptoms and stuff like that, and there are different processes in the matter there, especially in our region, in our smaller communities. Can the Minister please explain what is the process when a person is diagnosed with stroke-like symptoms in the Nahendeh riding? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Hopefully this will be short. In this revenue, is this where the RCMP housing is in this? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate Ms. Ruby Jumbo, senior administrative officer for the Sambaa K'e First Nation, for winning the Local Government Administrator of the NWT, Senior Administrative Officer of the Year for 2017.

Ruby's selection for Outstanding SAO of the Year was announced during the association's 2017 annual general meeting by Grant Hood, senior administrative officer of the town of Inuvik and LGANT president.

Ruby has been a resident of Sambaa K'e all her life. Ruby worked for Sambaa K'e First Nation for a total of 23 years with different...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I greatly appreciate that she is talking about the board and the manager. I am talking about where they are going to locate their staff. Where are they going to locate the materials that they need to help renovate the housing units? Right now, they have to either bring in contractors or utilize the Fort Simpson area to provide this material. Has the department looked at that and come up with a situation where they are going to put their shop? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Can we get a definition of what "as soon as possible" means? I mean, is it going to be within the next month? Is it going to be six months? I know the corporation has brought this LHO in last year, and I greatly appreciate it. I am looking to see potential employment for local people. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. What the Minister is saying is that I have to go to CMHC and find this information and then share it because the department can't do that? Can they explain? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank Mr. Williams for that answer. I guess it's great that we are getting the housing managers and informing them, but is this information getting to the boards, as well? How is it getting shared to the boards? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, I think I am going on to my third business plan, and again I am going to wish to talk about the apprenticeships and how the department has expanded or developed better apprenticeships and, more, increased it. Can the Minister tell us if the department or corporation has developed more apprenticeships for the local housing authorities? Thank you.

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.
