Thank you. Mr. Chairman, as I indicated, I believe that we have to put some type of mechanism in place to ensure that these three government sponsored alcohol and drug treatment centres will have that pot of money available to them, if they are able to meet the numbers that they are supposed to put through their centre over the course of a year. The Minister also indicated that Fort Smith and Fort Simpson hospitals will be reprofiled, and I think that it is important that Members as well as the public find out now exactly what reprofiled means. The work on the Inuvik and Iqaluit hospitals will only proceed when their respective roles within the integrated health system are clarified.

We need to know, what does this mean, when their respective roles are going to be clarified? Does this mean, for instance, the Inuvik hospital, they have to feed people to the Stanton Hospital so they can only get a small hospital? I think we need a better indication of what this means. In the Community Action Fund, I have received a complaint as well. I know at least one other Member has received a complaint, that the money that went to Yellowknife, once again, there was not a penny that went to the aboriginal groups in Yellowknife. We had asked the Minister to look into this last year. I do not know what types of things were put into place to try to ensure that aboriginal people will get their fair share of the money.

We now know that 20 to 25 percent of the population in Yellowknife are of aboriginal descent. This makes it the largest aboriginal community by population in the Northwest Territories. There are over 4,000 aboriginal people here. It does not seem right that none of the money would go for aboriginal programs. Under medical travel, Mr. Chairman, I understand that our students are being asked to travel by excursion. Is there a plan to put some type of similar limitations on medical travel as well where it is feasible if a person is not going to be harmed by going on excursion fare and possibly going a day late. Would we be looking at that type of thing?

Also, the air miles points that people receive for travelling, I am assuming at this point in time if they go by regular airfare that those points pile up on their own Canadian Plus. I would think that these types of things should go to the government, and similarly, for government staff, it is time that all government travel, all air miles went to the government and we could use this to fight our deficit.

Mr. Chairman, the Minister had indicated that they are going to be directing medical travel monies towards the boards that this would pay the way to an appropriate sharing resources between Nunavut and the western territory. I agree that this is a good start and I sincerely hope that this leads to move into other areas as well, where we can split the monies, and perhaps we should be looking at a split for the next budget, something along the line of population, 60/40 or whatever it is. Each side could then use their money as they see fit for their programs. Thank you.
