Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. My question today is for the Minister of Northwest Territories Housing Corporation. I understand the issue of physical limitations; however, planning is fundamental. My question is: what, if any, work plan progress has been done under the Voices on Housing Survey? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good morning, colleagues. Voices on Housing. As mentioned over the past few days, strategies and action plans are essential to achieving our goals and objectives. Today is Voices on Housing, a survey completed and tabled by the Housing Corporation this past May.

Mr. Speaker, it may sound convincing in the House; however, out there in the remote areas of our great territory, it matters by deliverance. Our listening audience, Mr. Speaker, wants security, certainty. They ask: should I mortgage or sell? Is my family secured by government programs? Is there future commerce...

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. There is a motion on the floor to report progress. The motion is in order and is non-debatable. All those in favour?

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. On the issue of the access to that capital as mentioned, will the Minister seriously look at entertaining a proposal submitted by the community of Tulita to construct a seniors' complex? There is no seniors' complex within that community, and I've received numerous phone calls. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thanks for that response on what we can expect as we move forward. My next question: as mentioned within the survey, can we expect consultation at the regional level after the development of action plans?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, would like to recognize David Ramsay. Welcome. Good to see you again. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My last question, getting back to the action plan or the campaign plan, if you want to call it that: would the Minister share a marketing campaign brochure, addressed to the Sahtu leadership, identifying the opportunities in the Skills 4 Success initiative? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I know it was a broad question, but as I mentioned in my statement, it is a very proactive measure to see that the department is identifying and forecasting the opportunity so that it can be shared with our students in the academic classroom world. My question is: as mentioned in my statement, what work initiatives are under way with the Department of Health and Social Services in preparation for the transitional start-up at the Sahtu Regional Health Centre?

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Progress on Skills 4 Success. the Department of Education, Culture and Employment established a plan, Skills 4 Success, to improve lifelong learning, skills development, training, and employment for Northerners, a proactive measure for youth in academic and in training. The Skills 4 Success Strategic Framework was implemented to ensure that the North's education training management keeps up with the dynamic changing of our labour market. Skills 4 Success identifies nursing in the top 20 professions in demand.

Mr. Speaker, individual skill values is one of the most important...

It leads me to my third question here: would the Minister work with the counterpart there, the Minister of Health and Social Services, to coordinate together both departments making community visits to share the forecasted opportunities as identified in the Skills 4 Success program?
