Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In regards to the community amortization, it went from $40 million to $43 million. I am wondering, was there a $3 million increase? Is that the increase?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I understand that this is to do with the depreciation of the overall assets within the health system. Thank you.

No, Mr. Chairman. There is a $1.4 million cost if you look at the revised main estimates as compared to the 2002-2003. The numbers are significantly different. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If the Member is asking, do I have from its inception to today the total overall package of costs to convert from fee for service to salary and take over positions and take over the clinics, I do not have that number with me. I can indicate that in this particular budget, there is $1.4 million in there as a result of the increase to operating costs. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Can the Minister tell us, will the government be giving up any of these leases for these facilities in the next short while?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, with the clinics that have been taken over here in Yellowknife by the department, a few of them were long-term leases. Exactly what will the government do when these leases expire or come to an end? Will the government be getting out of these leases?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I understand that there are three to four years left in the leases for most of the clinics. In a year or so, we will be starting to evaluate what the best course of action is in terms of what to do when the leases do expire. Thank you.
