Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yesterday evening, I had a chat with the Minister of Transportation. The transfers of the airports will be going forward because it is under our mandate to transfer infrastructures, whatever, to the community governments. They will still be going forward, and I believe that in the Keewatin region, the agreements have been coordinated so that everybody has the same agreement. Communities that are willing to take on the airports have been approached and it is in the process. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Transport indicated yesterday that there was a delay in the transfer. I was wondering if the Minister could tell me what caused this delay and what is the timeframe for these transfers to move forward? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I heard the Minister indicate that. I was just asking when. Is there a time, a date, a month that the community could be made aware of? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I made a Member's statement yesterday in regard to hunter and trapper compensation coverage. Subsequently, my question is directed to the Minister of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development. Mr. Speaker, is there any form of compensation coverage provided to hunters and trappers in the event that hunting equipment is lost during the hunting expedition or other mishaps to the hunting? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, there is compensation that is made available to hunters and trappers who incur loss of equipment in the course of hunting and trapping. Under certain circumstances, they are eligible to apply to the department for assistance. I would be happy to provide that to the Member by tabling it as early as possible. There is a brochure, a policy, that clarifies under what circumstances they may apply and be eligible for compensation. Thank you.

Question 553-13(5): Breast Cancer Screening Program Implementation

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Health, Mr. Ng. The other day, the Minister provided me with a return to a written question in regard to breast cancer screening. My question for the Minister in that regard is that there was to be a meeting of the stakeholders on March 13th regarding new guidelines and procedures and so forth that could be looked at. I wonder if the Minister could tell me if the boards that attended those meetings have reported back to the department or if the committee that was formed has reported back to the department regarding how they plan to implement the breast cancer screening program. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, subsequent to that March 13th meeting that did take place, the boards agreed to advise us before the end of May on their plans and how they are going to address the guidelines that have been laid out to deliver breast cancer screening programs in their respective regions, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In the event that one of the boards is not prepared to address this issue to the fullest degree, what is the Minister prepared to do in terms of ensuring that the boards follow the national mandate that this is an essential service? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the boards have all recognized the importance of this issue and are working cooperatively in trying to reach the time lines they have agree upon. If it comes to the point where there is a board that is not as supportive or has not implemented the guidelines or does not plan to implement those guidelines, then we will take the appropriate action at that time. As it stands now, they are all working toward the time lines that have been laid out. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wonder if the Minister will integrate annual clinical breast cancer exams and self-examinations into the Well Women's Program to ensure that women in every northern community, and I stress we have the same access to this basic level of health care. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I believe that is part of the guidelines now, although I would have to confirm that for the Member. Thank you.
