Question 15-16(2) Somba K’e Healing Lodge

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister Responsible for the Housing Corporation.

Why is the lodge not currently operational?

Can it be refurbished to be operational?

What costs are incurred annually by the GNWT for the upkeep and operation of the building?

What are the total annual costs for this building?

Since the closure of the facility in 2003 and up to today’s date, what is the total dollar amount spent by the GNWT for this facility?

What are the future plans for this facility?
