Thank you. When is the department going to revisit this whole issue so that what the communities want becomes clear? According to the deputy minister, it is not clear as to what the communities want. Mr. Chairman, my region has been pursuing this with the Mackenzie regional health administrator, we want to have our own board and so does the Nahendeh region. I know that those two ridings want to have their own boards. When are we going to get to the bottom of this, it has been dragging on since 1988. Surely, Mr. Chairman, we can try to resolve this particular board dilemma we are in.

Mr. Chairman, I know there was a recommendation from the Special Committee on Health and Social Services requesting a board for the Nahendeh area, Deh Cho, from the report, interim report number four. Mr. Chairman, with regard to the boards, I want to know if there are any plans within the department to decentralize the Mackenzie regional health board out of Yellowknife.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. What regional health board is Mr. Zoe talking about? Is he talking about the public administrator for the region or the regional health board?

Mr. Chairman, I am referring to the whole operation of the Mackenzie regional health board which exists on Franklin Avenue in Yellowknife. I am asking if the department has any plans to decentralize into the regions, rather than at headquarters in Yellowknife?
