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

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, at this point, the focus is on this particular issue of TTC being relocated to Hay River. The issue of the requirements of the Sahtu are one that we are working on with the new health and social services authority, along with other departments of government. The Member raised the issue of services for children and youth, the focus on prevention, working with families. That's going to be our focus, along with trying to put in more resources like nurse practitioners and better access to rehabilitation teams and those types of things. The Member, at this point, should be thankful that the numbers aren't there to require a facility for the people of the Sahtu yet. He has the good fortune of having a strong enough population. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Supplementary, Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it's really nice to hear from the Minister of Health and Social Services, saying that our region has a strong enough population not to require that type of service in the Sahtu. I hope we don't get to the point where we need the type of services the Members are debating. It goes back to the types of services we do need in terms of prevention. What type of plans does the Minister have in ensuring that the Sahtu can have this type of prevention program in our region? I mentioned earlier about the after-school program. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this speaks to the fundamental vision of the Northwest Territories, of strong regions and strong communities. Not having all resources centralized in only one, two or three locations, but that we have capacity and capability across the land. Mr. Speaker, we've committed resources, public health units, nurse practitioners; we've added doctors; we're working with the schools, Municipal and Community Affairs with services to youth and children in the regions. We want to work with the families and the parents through those processes, as well. We continue to demonstrate, given our resources, a very strong commitment to build capacity at the community level, working with the land claim organizations, community governments, families and individuals to do that. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Supplementary, Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, will the same type of support for parents be there, accommodation and travel? I am not sure what support parents are getting, from our region and other regions, who have children in facilities like TTC. Will that continue as the program is considered to be relocated to Hay River? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I can assure the Member that there will be no diminishment in the service that is already there for any child in the Northwest Territories who requires the services of TTC. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Final supplementary, Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I believe people who work at facilities such as TTC and other facilities are dedicated, well trained, and committed to their jobs. My hat goes off to those special people who have those special talents. Would the government ensure that the same level of services that they have in Yellowknife will also be available in Hay River? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we build sufficient lead time into this transfer to be able to deal not only with the physical infrastructure and renovations, but the staffing component as well. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Item 6, oral questions. The honourable Member for Kam Lake, Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services. The Minister keeps referring to a plan and a process to relocate this facility. I wonder if Cabinet had the same information that the Minister so kindly provided to the Regular Members close to the closure of the last sitting of this House. If Cabinet had the same information that I had in my hands and that I had the ability to have a

look at, I don't understand, for one second, why it was even a close call on relocating this facility.

Anybody who looked through the information that I saw would come to the conclusion that this facility belongs here and should stay here. Is it too much to ask the Minister to show us his plan, to demonstrate to us how this is going to work? How are the services going to be provided in Hay River? How are the children going to be looked after in Hay River? What are the options on Education in Hay River? There is a myriad of things that I think the Minister should answer, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. There were two or three questions there. Mr. Miltenberger, you can answer one or all of them. The honourable Minister of Health and Social Services, Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the program will be run the same way it's run here, the same contractor, the same kinds of program guidelines; the same case planning; the same work with children; the same relationship with the school; the DEA in Hay River to provide the educational services; the same relationship with the Hay River Health and Social Services Authority to ensure whatever health services are there; the same relationship with Stanton to make sure there is access to specialists as required, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Supplementary, Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister again: When can we see a plan? Is it too much to ask the Minister to provide us that type of information? We've been asking for a business case for this transfer for five months now. We haven't seen anything except the documentation that I spoke of earlier. As I said, if you saw it, it would be an easy decision to make. When will the Minister provide us the information and the proof that this is a good decision and that it will work? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Members from Yellowknife have rejected the rationale, very clearly, of the decision, why it was made and what the intention is. If the Member would like a timeline with milestones from now until the relocation, I would be happy to provide that to the Member. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Supplementary, Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to see that. As I said, we haven't seen anything. I would like to see a timeline. I would like to see what the provision of services is going to be for the children in Hay River. That's information that just has to happen. The Minister spoke earlier about it being cost neutral. I don't think that it is. I think it's at least $1 million more to renovate Dene K'onia, if I am not mistaken. So I would like to see this information. I don't think it's too much to ask, Mr. Speaker. When we will get the information? Thank you.
