Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Of the organizations you mentioned, a large portion are based here in Yellowknife. However, many communities have these concerns and problems, but they do not have the resources to be able to deal with the different interest groups because you do not have the administration, such as with the community concerns with the disabled. The problems we see with regard to community projects of trying to ensure that we have programs to deal with these different matters.
A lot of these organizations are Yellowknife-based, but I think we have to make an attempt to try to streamline it, to make it more accessible to other core bodies or core groups of people who are running different programs in the communities. There are people and groups out there who want to do more for their community, but there is just never enough money in there. I am wondering if the department will consider taking into account...you mentioned that list of organizations, but there are other groups out there in the smaller communities who would also like access to this money. Is there room for that to happen?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There is $160,000 available for community proposals for different initiatives under different categories that are identified under health promotion. The Northwest Territories organizations that I listed, such as the Northwest Territories Seniors Society, the Northwest Territories Council for the Disabled, all of these organizations have their headquarters located in Yellowknife, but most of them reach out to the communities as well. For example, the Northwest Territories Seniors Society is made up of representatives from the various regions. Although it appears they are located in Yellowknife, in fact most of them do work right across the Territory. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just under contributions to boards of management, nurses supplement-professional development fund, we have heard much discussion on the recruitment-retention strategy. Is this a part of that? To me, it sounds like a professional development fund that is a training fund. Is that what it is? Is that split out to the boards? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This funding is primarily from the additional money that was converted for the nurses' supplement. It is a two-year program, approximately $1.5 million per year. In addition, there is some money there for the professional development fund, which is allocated directly through the boards for professional development of health professionals, physicians and nurses.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. One of the programs in this budget is physicians' programs. I see we have $16 million budgeted for this fiscal year. Could I find out what we spent on physicians programs in the fiscal year 1999-2000, please?

Mr. Chairman, I know that the number is here in the book in front of me. The reason I am asking that question is that I had received a report from FMBS outlining lapses in programs, as did all members of the committee. There was some difference between the numbers in terms of what had been lapsed, what had actually been spent by the departments, and what the department felt was the actual number when we went through the budgets.
The reason I asked was to see if we could get a better explanation or get an explanation for how much was actually expended. I do not believe actuals are going to come to $14,488,000. I know that is the revised budget, but I think there is a difference. Maybe I could ask for that to be confirmed.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Some of the information in the variance report that was provided to Members was provided prior to post-closing balance adjustments. If there is a discrepancy, that may be the reason. If Mr. Elkin has anything further he would like to add to that, I would ask him to.
