Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just, once again, to try and address the area of which activity this would fall under. Is the area of when budget targets are set to all the different health boards, would this be covered under this area, or would it be covered under community programs and services?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There are different programs that are applicable to the health boards under both activities summaries, so it is a combination of both. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Then I will ask this question of the Minister. With a budget target set last year for all the health boards, how many health boards actually achieved their budget targets?

Mr. Chairman, based on our current set of projections, there are two boards that are anticipated to, at least in a marginal term, exceed the savings, and therefore, essentially balance their budget. There are three boards, so that those two are the Stanton and Kitikmeot boards. Three boards are projecting balanced, the Inuvik regional board, the Hay River community board, and Fort Smith. Three other boards, at this point, are projecting some amount of deficit. One being, like I said, a board that is not the Mackenzie group together, but not in effect a board. The Baffin regional board and the Keewatin regional board have a small deficit projected. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Minister had indicated that two staffing officers from Personnel Secretariat had been hired. Does that number include the amount of people that may have been hired by the health boards as well?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, that is just for the department itself. Boards have always had their own staffing personnel on staff. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Department of Public Works announced user say/user pay to come into force this year, and I understand that it is going to be reflected in all departments. Is the funding for all the maintenance of the facilities, hospitals and nursing stations, whatever, going to be transferred to the boards?
