Are we saying that the needs study program is being done this year for $150,000, and the master plan and impact assessment is projected to be done within this budget of $150,000 or is there going to be additional dollars assigned to it? When do we get to the impact assessment)

The department hopes to use the resources that we have identified for strategic planning in the coming year to complete the first aspects of this particular study in the Keewatin. The dollars allocated for the Keewatin are set out for what is called the functional program and that will be conducted late in the year after the aforementioned planning exercises have been completed. As I said, we believe the economic impact study can be incorporated into the first aspect of the planning.

When would the master plan and the impact assessment study be done? In the fall of 1992 or 1993?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Does this mean that there is a possibility of a hospital being built in the Keewatin after you have done the needs study?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Not necessarily. I do not want to say no, but I also do not want to say yes. The needs study will determine needs of the region and based on those needs something will happen, but I cannot say it will result in a hospital at this point, until the study has been undertaken and completed.

Sometimes this department talks in riddles, so I want to make sure I get it clear. They certainly have been talking in riddles earlier today. The needs study, which I understand has to be identified and I understand you are doing a whole bunch across the Territories and you have budgeted in some cases $25,000 and $50,000. 1 just want to hear you say it again. After the needs study has occurred, then the master plan and the impact assessment to determine the net effect of relocating the hospital out of Churchill into Rankin Inlet will occur for the Keewatin. Is that correct? Yes or no.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In the headquarters acquisition there are computer systems and bio medical/general equipment. In the Fort Simpson hospital they still do not even have a computer in the whole hospital, everything -is done manually in keeping the records. I raised that in the House a couple of weeks ago and I want to know if there is going to be a computer put into Fort Simpson in this budget?
