Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I greatly appreciate the indulgence of the Members. I will be very brief. I wanted to indicate the Minister for Municipal and Community Affairs has undertaken to spearhead a community development program. A development of a community development program would be a certificate or diploma program offered through the college system. Part of the program, the course, would be to help community workers implement community wellness programs and dealing with community well-being including issues of abuse, violence, health promotion, early childhood intervention, mental health, addictions, public health and environmental health. Mr. Chairman, the course would include different individual courses that address various areas of community wellness such as this area I have just mentioned, community development. Would the Minister or his staff be willing to sit down to discuss with MACA, their involvement in helping to develop this particular course which, of course, a little bit of revenue would certainly be helpful in addition to discussing what should go in the courses?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, yes, we would certainly be more than receptive to become involved in development of that program. If we cannot find financial resources, of course we would be willing to contribute as well. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the bulk of the money is in this current fiscal and the intent would be to carry forward any work that was not completed by the end of this fiscal year. If there is any additional requirement, of course, for the 1998-99 year, we try to reprofile existing funds. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wanted to find out about the renovation and addition for the Fort Simpson Hospital entails. I recall the social program's committee had made certain recommendations in regard to the renovations, and I was wondering what would be entailed in the 1998-99 renovations?
