Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Not at present. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Ms. Lee.

Can I get the answer to the second part? Is it more economical to borrow? Because he said we don't have that now, but he didn't say whether the department is looking into the possibility of getting a mobile mammography machine. Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we have a detailed capital list of equipment that we have and mobile mammography at this point is not on that list. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Just a couple of questions. One is on that line item with respect to Nahanni Butte. I am in no way going to suggest anything other than it be spent on the log cabin health centre for Nahanni Butte, Mr. Minister. I was just wondering what exactly this specific expenditure was for, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, those are just to bring the facility up to code. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you very much. I assume the Minister is aware that it sits on a wooden foundation and if there was a quake, then I don't think that building would stand or be there very long. So is that part of the upgrades as well?

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, we're aware that the facility was built, by our records, in 1990 and that the foundation is going to be in need of repair and if this estimate is insufficient and there's questions about structural integrity, then that will be dealt with. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you very much. It's not a very sound foundation in that structure so I'd like the Minister to pay some attention to that. But my other question is, I had requested and spoke with the Minister about expanding the long-term care facility, particularly in Fort Simpson. I don't know what line item it would fit under. We're getting full to capacity and I was just wondering how the Minister would address that need for the long-term care facility in Fort Simpson.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, our planning is done on demographic projections. What is the occupancy, what is the population growth, what is the age of the population? The Member is correct that our statistics tell us that we are going to be requiring beds across the Territories in the coming years. We're addressing some of those issues. There was some work done fairly recently in Fort Simpson. If there is a waiting list and if the statistics change, then those are forced-growth issues that we will be dealing with; not only in Fort Simpson, but they're occurring in other places as well. So we'll attempt to anticipate those and see it coming with forced growth where we can plan a bit ahead of time. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. That's one of the trends that I see this year; that our elder and senior population in the Nahendeh region are very old. I don't know what happened this particular year, but a lot of them need long-term care. I think we had four or five empty beds at this time last year and now we find that we're full and there's even a waiting list. I don't know what steps the Minister can take to address this need or to start looking and planning for expansion of the facilities, because that's an immediate need that I see and I would ask the Minister to address that. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I will note the Member's concern and, just to reassure the Member and other Members in this House, we work on a daily basis with the authorities looking at all the program areas and trying to anticipate, through our planning, the needs, both present and future. This is definitely one of the areas where we're going to be paying close attention. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Page 5-8, health services programs, total activity, $6.608 million.
