Regarding the Tuvvik treatment centre in lqaluit, I understand it has now been closed. Does this affect the closure, Mr. Chairman?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. No. This is for the treatment centre that has yet to be built. I think it would be better called the lqaluit or the Baffin Treatment Centre rather than Tuvvik. It is similar to the project that is going to occur in Hay River. It will be a live-in facility for inhouse treatment. It is a carry-over to next year and is still going to go ahead. We have a steering committee that is looking after it. There is a new alcohol treatment counselling service being established there. It is going ahead. It is just a matter of next year.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Member is correct. The Tuvvik Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centre program is now closed. That is the group that was delivering the alcohol and drug treatment to the people in lqaluit. That facility they had rented is not in operation any more, and the other committee is seeking funding and will replace it shortly.

There is a motion to delete that $15,000. Does that still have to be reflected in here?

Mr. Gargan, I do not believe that is necessary. This is 1991-92; you are talking 1992-93 capital. This is a supplementary appropriation. Agreed?

Are we still in a position, when these takeovers occur, of running a deficit because of the change in management? Even if the territorial government took over, it does not mean that we have a profit margin. We are still operating and we are still running a deficit operating that.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Where we have one of those enterprises that is not making a profit and it has to be subsidized, there are certain criteria, and the Development Corporation has to come to the Financial Management Board for approval.

I suppose this same kind of arrangement has been made with the Patterson sawmill?
