Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister responsible for Housing. About 18 months ago, her and the Minister of Health opened the Fort Good Hope Seniors Centre, but then it didn't open. And the Minister said she would open it in the summer, and then it didn't open. And then in the fall, the Minister said it would open in the new year, and then it didn't open. And in the last session, the Minister didn't give a date when it would open next, but it was clear the lawyers were getting involved.
So my question for the Minister of Housing is when will the Fort Good Hope Seniors Home, centre, open.
Thank you, Member for Yellowknife North. Minister responsible for Housing NWT.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you to the Member for the question as well too. We did end up with technical issues with the final build of this, of the construction of the nineplex in Fort Good Hope. We're looking at hopefully a date of December of this year for the nineplex to be open. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Mr. Speaker, that's approaching about two years since it officially opened. Perhaps the Minister could just provide a bit more of an understanding of what the technical issues are or whether this will cost us more money. Is there a new tender going out. You know, and if this can be provided at a later date, that's fine. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Once the nineplex was completed, we did end up finding some issues when reviewing those plans and those final statements.
But I want to also say that, you know, we had just finished with our COVID19 pandemic, and we did have a delay in responding and looking at the repairs for this, for the nineplex. And it was at that time, we weren't able to get contractors in as soon as we should have been able to.
So I'm hopefully I'm hopeful for December of this year. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
