Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the selection of Aklavik for the replacement of the health care centre there, was on the basis of the review which took place. The review was completed. It was identified that Aklavik was the highest priority for replacement of their facility. And it is in Mr. Krutko's riding. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is always good to be reminded that Aklavik is in your riding. I appreciate that. Mr. Chairman, could the Minister indicate the information they used? Obviously when they came here to do their interim appropriation, they indicated they had not made up their minds. They were still thinking about it. They were waiting for some more information. Is the Minister now saying since we had our initial go around with the interim appropriation and we deferred the budget because of the uncertainty, they have since had the review process complete? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the review was very close to being completed. I did indicate that. If you check Hansard, I did indicate the decision was very close to being made. We communicated with the Department of Public Works and Services to give its response and the assessments that were the result of the review, so we could answer that question. Yes, the review was completed. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Could the Minister indicate the number of years this project is anticipated to take? Are the plans for this year just to do the initial design and architectural planning? Is that the plan?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Could the Minister indicate as well, whether the full findings and results from this review by Public Works and Services will be included in the business plan, so we will have a clear look at those priorities and the need and justification for their assessments? Thank you.
