Mr. Chairman, my comment is with regard to the program design renovations of the health centre in Fort Providence. During the finance committee meeting, I thought the amount was $900,000. My problem is not with the change itself, it is in regard to the centre. In my opinion, the change is probably based on the fact that the health centre is in good condition and there is no reason to be wasting money to renovate the centre. We do not have a resident nurse, but we do have nurses in the community. One is married and the other has her own trailer. I believe the renovations were to make improvements to the resident portion of that health centre, but there is no one residing there. I guess there was no justification for that amount of money being spent on renovating that centre, and I have no problems with that. I do have a problem that even if in future years, there may be renovations done, the priority should be given to Kakisa. You should look at having some type of facility for Kakisa. Perhaps a small health centre or at least some space so there is basic infrastructure in place. During the finance meeting I made that point. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
