Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think every Member in this House has this document. It is called Program and Functional Review and it is in the health and social services area. It was introduced in the House in September, Mr. Speaker.
Mr. Speaker, within this document, in terms of timelines and consultation, I know that the Minister has made the suggestion that they might continue this for another year if they can come to a satisfactory agreement, but there is no guarantee of that. On past employment, the Government of the Northwest Territories was to serve the federal government with termination notices early in November, and at the same time notify aboriginal groups of the GNWT's intent and action taken. In November and December, the government and board staff developed this engagement plan.
In January and February, discussions with the federal government to ensure smooth transition, cease delivery of non-insured health benefits by April 1, 2001, complete claims and audits of 2000 and 2001 programs by 2001.
I asked on Friday about the consultation process. Is this the consultation process, Mr. Speaker? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
