On that point, I assume the residents of those facilities pay some sort of fees. Are the fees the people have to pay who stay in those non-GNWT residences set by the individual homes or by government policy?

Mr. Chairman, I would have to check that one out. We don't have the information with us.

This is an O and M issue, but it deals with capital buildings that the residents stay in. The concern I have is that in Government of the Northwest Territories' buildings, or ones run by government agencies, there are fees paid by the seniors who live in these facilities. But the fees they pay in hospitals and long-term care wards are different from what they pay in seniors' homes. I think they vary from community to community. What is the department doing to review these fees paid by seniors who live in the various facilities?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Some of these facilities are run by their own boards, but I will let Mr. Lovely elaborate further on the question.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As you are probably aware, there is a review under way with regard to the overall income support provided to NWT residents. One of the areas we are looking at are the fees that are charged to elders in these facilities, with a view toward standardizing them.

What is the status of that review? Is it another two years or six months away? How long is this review going to take place and when can we expect to see some results?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The review is fairly comprehensive and is being carried out with other departmental planning efforts. We are looking at September, 1994, as the completion date for the overall plan that will include things like fees in personal care facilities.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This figure seems like a figure just pulled out of the air. It covers three different facilities in three different communities. Is this a figure that is used every year or is there some formula? Is there some specific arrangement whereby a figure is entered into the books on the basis of discussions with the different facilities?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There are anticipated expenditures of $55,000 for the Fort Smith region and $45,000 for Yellowknife. They come in as an application to the department.
