Mr. Chairman, that is on page 6-20, for the Member's reference. Thank you.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. Mr. Krutko.

Directorate and corporate services, page 6-10, operations expense, total operations expense, $24,462,000. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. One of the things covered under this budget is health promotion. I think health promotion is one of the things that we need to put more effort into. We can avoid significant costs in the long term if we can increase the health of our population. I just think it makes sense to avoid the pain and suffering that people might find themselves in if they lived healthier lifestyles. My concern is that the amount of money that was lapsed in this budget last year, almost one third of the amount that was budgeted was lapsed.

I would like to hear from the Minister how she intends to make sure that this money is first of all, all spent, and perhaps provide some information about what they are planning to spend the money on. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Mrs. Groenewegen.

I am going to refer that question to Ms. Praamsma.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. Ms. Praamsma.

Thank you, Ms. Praamsma. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Can we maybe get some sort of idea of what sort of programs were planned for this money? How much of it is being spent by the board and how much is used by the central agency? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Ms. Praamsma.

Thank you, Ms. Praamsma. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am not sure if anyone of us in this room would qualify as poster children for the active living posters right now. I am a little concerned about the sort of programs that are going to be planned for the tobacco cessation are things like posters. I do not think they have a terrific track record of getting to young people. Young people are the ones we obviously have to target with this program. So what sort of things are we going to be doing with the money targeted at tobacco cessation and how much of this money is in that area?

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Mrs. Groenewegen.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, there were public service announcements which were recently just developed with considerable input from the youth. I do not know if any of you have seen them on the television yet, but we previewed them at the department. They are certainly very interesting and things that would appeal to young people. There is also another number of public service announcements that will be developed for next year. We are planning to involve another segment of the population in finding things that are pertinent and relevant. We think that these commercials are going to yield good results.

There is also a campaign for smoke-free homes and smoke cessation program for youth that are hopefully going to deliver substantial results. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this is not a lot of money, $926,000. Could I find out how much of this is being allocated to the boards?

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Mrs. Groenewegen.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, $160,000 of it goes out for proposals to be received on how the money might be spent. The rest of it is for territorial initiatives. Those initiatives are developed through headquarters. Thank you.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. Mr. Dent.
