Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as the honourable Member knows, I asked that the planning for the facilities, both in Iqaluit and Inuvik, stop temporarily while the strategic planning process was to be initiated. It would depend on some of the recommendations that might be coming forward from the strategic planning exercise to see what types of facilities, what types of programs would be recommended to be provided in the situation of both the capital facilities. I had recently met with the chairs of both of the Baffin Regional Health Board, as well as the Inuvik Health Board, to talk about that exact issue, about when they could get on with starting some of their planning for their facilities. It was agreed that they would come back to us, back to the Department of Health and Social Services, to myself, with some proposed time lines and some proposed monetary requirements to put that into effect. Mr. Speaker, I understand that we have recently received that information, so we will be assessing it and hopefully bringing forward a proposal to those two boards, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
