Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I was wondering, in the few minutes that I have left here, the Carver model will probably mean nothing to anybody outside of this House, or from a very select circle.
Mr. Chairman, the concern, as far as I can see, is that the Carver model removed the board from part of the critical role that they should have been playing, in terms of the broad decision making of the facilities.
I see the running of, at least, the Fort Smith Health Centre should be very similar to the running of the municipal council, where you have the mayor and council, who deal with the broad issues, the broad budgets and the political side of the operation and the staff once the council has made their decision and carries that out.
My sense, with the Carver model is that, in fact, the board is removed from part of that key process and that there is often communication problems between boards and CEOs and possibly between the department and the boards as a result.
If the Minister could speak to some of the concerns they have observed about the Carver model and why they, in fact, see it as problematic and needing review. Thank you.
