Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Not many. It tends to be RCMP, DND or WCB. There are some who would not be considered immediately eligible.

I take it from that that the Department of Health and Social Services uses a different definition of Northerner than other departments of government. Could we get the definition of Northerner from the Department of Health and Social Services?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Dent indicated that he would like me to allow the staff some opportunity to talk, so on this one, I will let Mr. Cleveland respond.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is more a question of eligibility in programs that are offered.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On page 6-17, under health services programs, and I know we will get into detail shortly, I was just wondering, the grants and contributions. What is driving that increase? There is almost $10 million from last year's main estimates and almost $12 million if you go back to the 2001-2002 action plan.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There are a number of key changes, collective agreement adjustments for boards, the increase to standardized physician contracts, the increase to medical clinics' operating costs, forced growth for boards, enhancements to the primary care health services delivery model. There was a third internist at Stanton. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Two questions. Under other expenses, that line has dropped by $1.5 million. Is that a transfer into grants and contributions? Is it an actual reduction under other expenses? Could we also get a bit of an explanation about what is included in other expenses?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Maybe I could ask the Member, did he say there was a decrease or was he asking why there was an increase under other expenses?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I apologize for not being precise. I was talking about the difference between the 2000-2001 actuals and the 2002-2003 main estimates. There is a slight increase over last year, or the current year we are in. It is down quite significantly from the year previous.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If you could spare me one second here. We apparently do not have that particular detail, so I will commit to get that for the Member and for the Assembly. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I would like to ask the Minister about the amortization of the health centres in Yellowknife that have been taken over by the department. I would like to ask the Minister why there has been an increase in the costs of delivering health care because of that take over from the health clinic to the Department of Health and Social Services?

Thank you, Madam Chair. In the budget, there is about a $1.4 million increase in the medical clinic operating costs. Part of that is the initial costs of converting from the private fee for service clinics to the model that is currently there. Those are some of the costs and they have been dealt with over the last couple of years. Thank you.
