Yes, Mr. Chairman. In the presentation of the Department of Social Services, the 1993-94 Capital Estimates include 13 projects, which total $3.468 million. Due to the continuation of the financial restraint program, the department's capital budget remains at a reduced level, although there are growing demands on our services during these tough economic times. The major thrust in the department of the coming year, in family and children's services, is to complete the group home in Baker Lake. In the community and family support services area the thrust is to commence and planning for an elders' residence in Fort Resolution and Gjoa Haven and to build a handicapped group home in Rankin Inlet and to commence planning for one in Inuvik. The remainder of the budget is for renovations to existing facilities, purchases of minor items of furniture and equipment and planning and design for new facilities.
I hope that there will be support from the Members for these requests, and I want to bring in the departmental official to help me answer any questions that the Members may have. Thank you.
