Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a couple of questions for the Minister of Housing. Has the department set a date to visit the community of Aklavik for the community’s input into the new Joe Greenland Centre?
Thank you, Mr. Blake. The honourable Minister responsible for the NWT Housing Corporation, Mr. Robert McLeod.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Our plan is to try to get into the community as soon as possible. We recently announced the plans to replace the Joe Greenland Centre. We want to try and get in there as soon as possible. We still have about a month of winter road. I’m assuming staff from the department in Inuvik will be heading over to Aklavik to start the planning of the new Joe Greenland Centre.
I’d like to ask the Minister, will the department build a facility like the Joe Greenland Centre in Fort McPherson.
Because the Member asked, I’ll say yes, we will. As part of our announcement last week, we did announce that we were building four new seniors facilities. One of them was in Fort McPherson, the other one was in Fort Good Hope, we have one in Fort Liard, and the other one in Whati. The planning for that is in the early stages right now. We do plan to construct these in 2014-2015 and 2015-2016.
Mahsi cho to the Minister. I have no further questions.
Thank you, Mr. Blake. The honourable Member for Sahtu, Mr. Yakeleya.
