Thank you, Madam Chair. Before I start, I would like the Minister to clarify a couple points he made when he was being questioned earlier. How I understood his comments were he referred to meningitis as a priority, when it was being brought up about what are priorities and what are some of the pressures of the priorities of the Department of Health and Social Services. He also references the acts in another item when we were discussing about capital cost priorities. If the Minister could clarify for my benefit, let's say for the record, of course. To my knowledge, the meningitis issue was a special warrant issue so it wouldn't have been perceived as a budgeted item, therefore, it wouldn't have been seen as a line item issue that would have demanded pressure in that regard. It was tackled under the supplementary appropriation, so it's a special warrant. If he could confirm with me that the coordination of the acts planned to build a long-term dementia care facility in the Yellowknife area, that the capital cost would rest on the shoulders of that association, not the capital cost resting on the shoulders of the Department of Health. If he could clarify those two points before I proceed with my questions. Thank you, Madam Chair.
