Finally, Mr. Speaker, I have a return to an oral question asked by Mr. Floyd Roland on June 26th, 2000, regarding financing construction of the Inuvik Regional Hospital.
With respect to the issue regarding the amount of funding received from the Government of Canada for the completion of the Inuvik Regional Hospital project, I offer the following information.
Mr. Speaker, prior to division, the total amount of funding received from the federal government for the replacement of the Inuvik Hospital and renovation of the Inuvik Hospital was $18,880,000. Of this amount, $10,508,608 was retained by the Northwest Territories through the division of assets and liabilities process.
The residual amount owing to the Government of the Northwest Territories from the Government of Canada for the Inuvik Hospital project is $16,790,000. Of this amount, $3.17 million was received in 1999-00 and scheduled future payments are as follows:
2000-01 $5 million 2001-02 $4.5 million 2002-03$4.12 million
Thus, total funding received from the Government of Canada for this project will be $27.3 million.
