Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Department of Health and Social Services has roughly a $200 million budget and about $148 million of that goes to the various health boards. They, in turn with their representatives from the community or communities, following the standards, legislated requirements and mandated programs and standards of the department, administer the programs and oversee those budgets.
If there is a concern, as my colleague has mentioned, in terms of the communities he represents, then I would just like to restate that I think it is very important that we sit down with the Inuvik Health and Social Services Board and the communities and look at the services that are required and issues that may be there, to see how best we can address those with the resources that are there, in addition to the funds that we are going to try to get appropriated to us as we move ahead with the impact of major resource development. Thank you.
