Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate hearing that there are going to be some changes. The Premier had made a commitment to revisit the corporate capital planning process including the application of the ranking criteria. So Members have been awaiting word on when that would take place. When does the Minister expect -- he said shortly -- Regular Members hearing what changes they recommend?

Thank you, Mr. Dent. The honourable Minister responsible for the FMB, Mr. Handley.

Mr. Speaker, we currently have a committee that is looking at the ways we go about meeting our infrastructure needs. They are undertaking that task right now. I expect to have something to FMB in terms of a proposal of how we could handle it, including the 2004-05 planning year and to have that within the next week to two weeks. As soon as I have approval from FMB, then I will bring it to AOC as a proposal. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Supplementary, Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, based on the criteria that are now in place, is the Minister confident that he can provide justification to support the capital projects that are included in the 2003-04 budget?

Thank you, Mr. Dent. The honourable Minister responsible for the FMB, Mr. Handley.

Mr. Speaker, certainly we would not have put the capital projects in the plan if we didn't feel that we could support them and substantiate them. Thank you.

Thank you. Your final supplementary, Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If the government is confident that they can justify the projects as they stand in the corporate capital plan now, why has that detailed information never been supplied to the committees?

Thank you, Mr. Dent. The honourable Minister responsible for the FMB, Mr. Handley.

Mr. Speaker, I am not sure exactly which detailed information the Member is referring to. We have provided information back to the committee when the letter was received. As we go through the main estimates for each department, we will provide further detail on any capital projects that are included in the 2003-2004 Main Estimates. I don't think there is a difficulty there. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Item 6, oral questions. The honourable Member for North Slave, Mr. Lafferty.

Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. The honourable Minister of Health and Social Services, Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, clearly the focus of all we do is to provide service to the people in the communities. To do that, of course, we need facilities that are maintained and operational and able to provide a place from which to provide these services. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Supplementary, Mr. Lafferty.

Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. The honourable Minister of Health and Social Services, Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, once again, my priority as Minister in this government is to provide the best possible level of health and social services to all the people in the Northwest Territories. We recognize there are different levels of services in some of the communities, especially the smaller ones, and we are of the opinion that it would be very poor management to let current facilities fall to wrack and ruin and focus only on building new facilities. So we are trying to maintain a balance to address both issues. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Supplementary, Mr. Lafferty.

Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. The honourable Minister of Health and Social Services, Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, one of the goals of the action plan is to come up with an integrated service delivery model that will give us that base to work towards. Some communities will have services above the baseline depending on their size. Some may be below. Our challenge will be to bring to those communities that do not have those basic services up to that basic level. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Item 6, oral questions. The honourable Member for Tu Nedhe, Mr. Nitah.
