Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the request for expenditure in this area is from the Department of Health and Social Services. It flows out of the integrated service delivery model, and identifies a number of centres: Deh Cho Health and Social Services Authority, Fort Simpson Wellness Centre, as well as...Just that one at this time. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Am I hearing correctly that these facilities are flowing out of a book that's called integrated service delivery model, and that the Deline facility is not in this integrated service delivery model manual or book, or no reference is made to this facility? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, from the information I have, this is the beginning of the work that flows out of the integrated service delivery model, but for more details, Mr. Miltenberger may be able to provide that at this time. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the funds that are in this particular appropriation request are to do some modifications to the Fort Simpson Health Centre; Northern Lights in Fort Smith; Woodland Manor, Hay River; Jimmy Erasmus Seniors' Home; and the Joe Greenland Centre in Aklavik. This is planning money that's going to lead the eventual required modifications to make those units more able to deal with clients that have cognitive impairments.
The Deline facility work is in its final stages, and there's a bit of review being done, and indications are that there are going to be possible options coming out of the review, that the remaining six units be converted to four independent living facilities, before that complex be converted to community space to bring together all the social programs in the community. I haven't seen the final document, but we expect it to cross our desks in the next few weeks. But
that's our understanding, so that particular facility wouldn't fit under the long-term care planning at this point.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Mr. Minister. Again, for clarification, these facilities...I'm just going to leave it at that. Thank you.

Are there any other things that are going to be required to look into other special warrants or types of funding for these schools that have some modifications in regard to the court decision? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, there is potential for further costs in the area of the rulings that we would have to fulfill. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Regarding the work that's going to happen because of the court ruling and because of the requirements we have to fulfill, which are legal obligations, I guess, because of the situation, would this type of future funding hinder us to put in other facilities, like the school in Colville Lake that desperately needs new space? Is that going to affect future planning because of these court judgments that are coming down to the Government of the Northwest Territories? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Department of Education, Culture and Employment, on an annual basis, again, as we prepare our budgets and build our business plans, takes into account the requirements, and the student enrolment, and needs, and age of their facilities, and puts it into their plan. This is outside of that. Because it is still before the courts, it's an issue that we're not prepared to speak on at this point. But the normal planning situation that happens would work with the DEAs, DECs, communities, and regions, and the capital planning requirements that are out there. Thank you.
