Madam Chair, right now, the project scope does not have an assisted living. It has contemplates the higher level of medical requirements that would be needed for individuals, so as well as other facilities, kitchen, laundry, and, you know, communication systems. Some of these are included right now in what is being scoped out. But as I said, at the present time it's being scoped for being an assisted living facility at a higher end need. So, you know, again, I would say the first step is to just get the site, do the technical evaluations and do this engagement. So to the extent that there...

Thank you, Madam Chair. So, Madam Chair, the complicating factor here is there are no GNWT lands that can be turned into a territorial park, nor unless there was to be some sort of lands swap. But, I mean, right now this is not GNWT land. They are IFR or Inuvialuit lands and/or Tuk community corp lands. So my in speaking with the department over the last couple of years and wondering why there isn't more development, quite frankly, in Tuktoyaktuk and/or along the highway, part of it is, again, that's not our land to develop and it's not our land to do anything with. We can support the...

Let's go to ADM Brennan, please.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So I mean, there are two parts to it I suppose. Firstly, if there's an interest in having DFO involved, I mean, the Department of ITI can be a liaison point where whether under tourism, whether under fisheries, potentially Department of Municipal and Community Affairs I imagine could certainly go and advocate to our counterparts to say, look, we would like your officials and staff to come and come to our region and look at what prospects there might be, do their own internal assessments and government processes that exist within the federal government. We would not be...

Thank you, Madam Chair. So, again, at this point only the crush contract has been completed. That one is being done by a local community contractor. Anything on the Frank Channel bridge would have to go through the Tlicho Infrastructure Cooperation Agreement, which there's a presumption in a way that or an initial attempt to negotiate directly with the Tlicho government or subsidiary thereof. If there's an inability to reach conclusion, then even so, any outside agreement that may be reached would still then be subject to having provisions within it for employment and I believe also for...

Thank you, Madam Chair. That is a bit out of the capital that I've prepared for. I'll turn it to Mr. Martin, please.

It'll be across the street, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, there was a contract with a Tlicho business for the cleaning of the facilities at the North Arm Park. I, you know, anecdotically would not be surprised if the usage was far and away what that cleaning contract was anticipating in the circumstances. But, again, I know that there was also a number that was available for users to call and that there was a path by which folks would then attend and provide services.

With respect to Whati, Madam Chair, that's a topic that hasn't come up in a while, but, again, you know, in speaking somewhat outside of capital...

Thank you, Madam Chair. We'll just get that number for the Member. So, well, looking at $9 million, that's the total that's being spent, Madam Chair. That's inclusive of the amount coming from the feds. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I would also be very keen to see more small craft harbours and accessibility to the waters all around the Northwest Territories, not the least of which would be around the Mackenzie and in Fort Providence and throughout the area. A lot of this does require the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, which is the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans. I can see over the last couple of years we had hoped to have them more engaged and more involved in determining additional sites and locations for small craft harbours, but first there were some delays because...
