Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, there was a request given in earlier discussions of these breakdowns of each of these expenditures to see if they were for people's salaries and whatnot. I would like to ask the Minister responsible, do you have that breakdown at this time?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I handed out four pages of documentation yesterday. I would be happy to provide it to the Clerk again if there are copies needed. It breaks out expenditures, what the money is spent on.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, in regard to the Northwest Territories' Health and Social Services System Action Plan, there were other initiatives in place. I would like to ask the Minister responsible for the department what other initiatives is the Minister going to be bringing forward that would either through another supplementary or in the budget process?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we have an options paper on recruitment and retention that is currently being finalized for review by Cabinet. We have an integrated service delivery model paper which is currently with the Social Programs Committee which speaks to suggesting how we are going to move ahead on dealing with some of the alcohol and drug issues, mental health and family violence as well as the continuing care issues.
Those are in addition to the work that is being done right now on just the general business plan. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, can the Minister tell us how soon he will be bringing these initiatives forward and will it be coming forward through a supplementary appropriation?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we are down to, I would hope, a number of weeks. The recruitment and retention document, as indicated in the House earlier today, is being finalized for bringing forward to Cabinet. We are waiting for feedback and a chance to brief the Social Programs Committee on the integrated service delivery model and the plan would be to try to include those once the final approval is received and Cabinet has a chance to review it. We hope to include that in the business planning process.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to ask the Minister about the actions to improve support to trustees. Can he let the rest of the Members know what all this involves?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the intent is to do two main things. We want to come up with a standard training package for all trustees that outlines the approach that trustees will take and the requirements that they should have as a new trustee.
We want to as well, we are currently defining through the accountability framework the approach and the role that boards should play within our health and social services system. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to ask the Minister, has he come up with any solutions as to how he is going to deal with future boards where they will be all elected or all appointed? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, that, to the best of my knowledge at this point, the approach is going to be one that has to recognize that not every authority will have the same approach to how they select board members. The Member and I have had discussions on this in the past. The Dogrib Community Service Board is a unique arrangement but then again so is Hay River, so is Fort Smith.
We are trying to come up with some broad standards but recognizing that there are going to be regional differences. Thank you.
