Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Infrastructure. Could the Minister please provide us with an update on the Tulita Health Centre? Thank you.
Thank you. Minister of Infrastructure.
Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, right now we are working with the department of health to have a look at the project going forward. Thank you.
Okay, so not much of an update. Can the Minister respond to whether or not Clark Builders, the contractor for that work, has demobilized from site? Thank you.
Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. No.
Thank you, Madam Speaker. I'm a bit confused by that answer as it's been brought to my attention by several people in the area that the health centre has now been halted and is not progressing. Can the Minister please speak to the rumors and why that would be being said? Thank you.
Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, the construction of the Tulita Health Centre was suspended in June of 2021. We had concerns from the community that during COVID that they did not want anybody outside of the residents to be in the community so therefore we did put a halt on it. And right now we are continuing discussions with the department of health to see what we do with the project. I don't have answers right now other than we are looking into it. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, it's my understanding that work did resume on the health centre over the last while and that since then there's been a demobilization or a stop of work. Can the Minister speak to that? Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, we did work with the department of health. We went back to the community. We are we did halt, that is correct. And now we're looking at trying to get the project back on track. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
Thank you, Minister. Oral questions. Member for Great Slave.
