Thank you, Mr. Krutko. The honourable Minister responsible for the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs, Mr. Allen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have set out a method in how we can achieve that. We had stated on Friday that we would look at it, if they want to exchange one capital project for another. For instance, we said if we wanted to exchange moving up their curling rink for a piece of heavy equipment they have on their five-year capital plan schedule, we are prepared to consult with the community to see if that is a feasible exchange. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister Allen. Supplementary, Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister commit to work with myself and the community of Aklavik to work into the five-year capital plan having this curling rink constructed during the period of 2002-2003?

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. The honourable Minister responsible for the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs, Mr. Allen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am not sure if we can commit to that level of detail, but I am willing to sit down and consult with the Member as well as the community to see if we can. I am sure if it is possible, we will do that. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister Allen. Final supplementary, Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister if he is available to meet with the community of Aklavik in the last week of March, so we can sit down and start the deliberations and discussions on how we can do that?

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. The honourable Minister responsible for the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs, Mr. Allen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, Mr. Speaker, I am more than prepared to set up a schedule of dates to meet with the communities in his riding to work out not only the idea of a curling rink, but all those outstanding issues we should be addressing. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister Allen. Item 6, oral questions. The honourable Member for Range Lake, Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question today goes to the Minister of Health and Social Services. Mr. Speaker, as the Minister is aware, the Metis Nation has been responsible for administering Metis health benefits. I got a call from somebody who has been trying to register his newborn. He sent away an application two months ago and in his words, it appears it sort of went into a black hole. I am wondering if it has something to do with the fact that the Metis Nation office is on the verge of closing down, if it has not already. I was wondering if the Minister could advise at all if she knows anything about this administrative problem? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. The honourable Minister responsible for the Department of Health and Social Services, Mrs. Groenewegen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yes, there has been some confusion around the delivery of Metis health benefits of late because a question did arise over which Metis organization should be responsible for validating the membership eligibility and providing information to members. So in the interim, the department has continued to have the insurance delivered by Alberta Blue Cross, but the membership is being maintained by the health services administration office within the department until some of the other issues around this are resolved. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Minister. Supplementary, Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate that information. I wonder if, for the benefit of people outside of here, because I will be contacting the person who called me, but I wonder if the Minister has any plan to make this information public by way of public announcement or something? I am sure there are a lot of other people who are affected. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. The honourable Minister responsible for the Department of Health and Social Services, Mrs. Groenewegen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, that is a very good suggestion and I will talk to the department about perhaps public service announcements, either through radio or television, to make beneficiaries of Metis health benefits aware of this. Thank you.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. Supplementary, Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If I could just take it one step further, Mr. Speaker, I wonder if the Minister could make available to us in the House the phone numbers and sections of the department, just because government departments are very big and it would just save us some work. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. The honourable Minister responsible for the Department of Health and Social Services, Mrs. Groenewegen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will undertake to provide all of the Members of the Legislative Assembly with the contact numbers and names for constituents who may be enquiring of them about their Metis health benefits. Thank you.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. Item 6, oral questions. The honourable Member for Thebacha, Mr. Miltenberger.
