Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That answer depends largely on the progress of the weather in the area. It won't be completed until snow melts and we are able to get to the ground. We are hoping the corporation will be able to pick up as much of the oil as possible before the ground thaws, so there is very little in the way of oil that seeps into the ground. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Minister commit to informing this House, hopefully daily, on the status of the clean-up, so the public might be informed instead of hearing rumours? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question was for the Minister of Finance, but he seems to have gone. So I will have to...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister of Health and Social Services, Mr. Ng. I would like to know what the practice of this
government is when it comes to delivering programs -- such as alcohol and drug programs -- to non-status, status, Metis and non-native people.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there are five treatment centres throughout the Northwest Territories. Depending on where the individual would be, if they required treatment, they would be referred to one of those facilities.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If that is the case, why are Metis people, especially in my community of Fort McPherson, not allowed to partake in the Tl'oondih Healing Camp, which is 20 miles south of the community. They are sent elsewhere. Why is that?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am not sure about the specifics with respect to the treatment of Metis residents, particularly to the Tl'oondih operation. It is a newer facility. I will have to get that information and advise the Member.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In this day and age, when we are talking about working together and when it comes to aboriginal issues, of being able to work along with the other aboriginal groups for delivery of programs and services, it sort of feels like we're going back in time where we're isolating aboriginal groups based on identity. I feel that this government should do away with that practice, especially when it comes to cost savings. It will be a lot cheaper for government to put someone into a program
which is 20 miles south of a community, than sending them to Hay River which is almost 1,000 miles away.

Edward Picco Iqaluit
Mr. Speaker, yesterday in a question from Mr. Erasmus put to the Health Minister, the Health Minister confirmed that rent charged to our elders in senior citizens' homes is to be increased to $712 a month. Mr. Speaker, this has caused much concern in my riding. Can the Minister inform this House if there is a maximum and a minimum that elders will pay, based on their income? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I responded to the honourable Member, Mr. Erasmus, yesterday, the intent is that the maximum will be $712, given that there will be approximately $200 of disposable income for every resident utilizing those services. Thank you.
