Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I will speak slowly for the benefit of translation that may occur for the benefit of Mr. Lafferty's constituents. Mr. Speaker, in his Member's statement today, Mr. Lafferty expressed a vision for his region in terms of a facility in which many different program relating to the health and social services of the Dogrib people could be addressed. Certainly, that is a very commendable goal.
He referred to access to health and social services, access to physician services, addictions treatment, and various other things that could be delivered at that level. The Dogirb Community Services Board is a unique model of governance in this area. Certainly, the Dogrib people are taking a very proactive approach to these issues.
Mr. Speaker, the availability of capital dollars for infrastructure such as a building are very scarce. We have, over the past four years at least, a decline in the amount of capital dollars available for projects in general. Having said that, I want to encourage the Member for North Slave to continue to work with us as we look at options for sources of funding that may be available for such a project. At this time, I would not be able to say there would be capital dollars available for such a facility. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
