Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So these monies aren't put aside specifically for the hospitals. You've got it down here in future years anticipated. Is that money expected to come out of general revenue when the building starts? Thank you,

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Member is correct; there has been no reserve or other mechanism established to identify these prepayments that have been received to date. It will have to come out of the departmental budgets or the government's overall fiscal outlook over the next few years, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a question on the next hospital coming up here in Iqaluit and the difference between the amounts. Is there a reason why? I know there's a higher cost of construction, but is it because of population or what?

Thank you. His question is indirectly related to the Inuvik region. I will allow the question. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Member is correct; the difference is as a result of two primary
reasons: one, because of the higher cost of construction in the Arctic area, and, two, there is also a larger catchment area in the Baffin versus Inuvik, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.

Thank you. Total region, Inuvik. I indicated $1.988 million. It is, in fact, $1.983 million for this area.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a question that was referred to earlier on the placement of a community when Nunavut comes about in 1999 in the hospital boards. What catchment area is Iqaluit based on?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My question is, in future years, when is this $44 million proposed and being spent? It would also equate to the same question for Inuvik: When in future years is this proposed?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The bulk of the construction, if you want to call it that, for Inuvik would be, as it is proposed now, in the 1998-99 fiscal year and for Iqaluit, evenly split between the 1998-99 and 1999-2000 fiscal years. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
