Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I made the commitment and I have indicated the process and sequence of events in terms of the document dealing with the facilities across the Territories. That's going to Cabinet in the next few weeks. We are working on the executive summary and the communication plan and those types of things. That has been done in full consultation, I just want to point out again, with the authorities, the senior staff, the board chairs, the board members of the various authorities have also been briefed and been involved in the work. So that is coming. The Stanton master plan will flow from this document. The Stanton master plan hasn't proceeded because we were reviewing the acute care usage, the doctors' mix, the emergency wards, the same as we are reviewing the occupancy and usage of other facilities. They are going to be further directed by Cabinet to look at the use of facilities with an occupancy of 30 percent or less. So once this facilities document is done, then the master planning will continue at Stanton, Hay River and Fort Smith where there is money in the budget in the capital plan to do the planning this year with construction to start the following year in all three facilities. Stanton is in the neighbourhood of $16 million over two years.
