Okay. Thank you. Moving it right along then, does the Minister have any sense of whether we will need to wait a long time before we have some sense of whether or not this federal money can accommodate this project? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we're looking towards the end of March or April to hopefully have things nailed down, in terms of the processes and agreements with the federal government that would allow the money to flow and where we would know what's possible. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'd like to just express my appreciation for all the work that the Minister and the department has done so far for the dementia facility and hopefully things will move right along. I have a question on page 5-8 on the capital acquisition plan and it's to do with the plans for Stanton Territorial Hospital. There are two line items there.

In this House, the Minister and I have exchanged questions and answers about redesigning or reprofiling the emergency department at the hospital. I'm just wondering, because I don't see anything under emergency until 2006-07, but I was under the impression that might be in the works a little sooner. I'm wondering if part of the budget for the territorial hospital -- the one above that of $1.5 million for this year -- would have anything to do with the emergency unit reprofiling. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Stanton master development plan is going to incorporate both the pieces and the money laid out here is how it was proposed to flow. But when the design is done and the sequencing agreed to, then this may possibly be adjusted. The key point being the money is approved and in the capital plan. Now we just have to work out the details of what's the best way to sequence it to do all the work which is required, which is a fairly extensive amount; about $16 million worth. Sorry, $26 million in total.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Ms. Lee.

I guess it might sound too technical, but if it's a $26 million project, why do you have to split one into emergency and the other into territorial hospital in general? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, in reality, the main Stanton renovation was done and then there was enough work done on the emergency section, or part of the operation, to make us realize it would require over and above the funding that was available in the $20 million. So there were further funds incorporated to try and address what seemed to be the requirements for a properly-functioning emergency ward.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'd like to ask my next question on the diagnostic imaging medical equipment. My questions have to do with the mammography machines at the hospital. People are telling me that there's not enough of either the equipment or resources to run equipment or the staffing to run the equipment and I'm hearing that there are days when the machine is only running for half an hour. Not half an hour, sorry; half a day or half the time that it can be. Can I ask the Minister whether there are any plans for more mammography machines at the hospital? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Is the Member asking if there are sufficient staff, or if we're buying more equipment?

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Clarification, Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I was asking both because I'm not certain where the problem is. First of all, can the Minister confirm whether or not we have enough resources to do mammography imaging as much as needed? Because I'm hearing for both reasons -- lack of staffing as well as lack of equipment -- that women who need them might not be getting them as often as they should, and there are waiting lists to get mammography done. I'd like to know whether or not the Minister is aware of that and whether this various item under diagnostic imaging, medical equipment, has anything to do with that. Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My understanding is that the current mammography equipment is up to date. We have arrangements as well, or we had arrangements in the South Slave with northern Alberta with their mobile mammography, but our capital lists tell us that there are no plans to add any more mammography equipment at this point. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wanted to bring up the mobile mammography machine as well. I'm wondering if we're doing that now. How are the women in communities, where there are no mammography machines, getting their mammography done other than to fly to Yellowknife? Why do we not have that mobile service available, or do we? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we had an arrangement, as I indicated, with Alberta. We don't have any mobile mammography equipment of our own. Yes, for mammographies, oftentimes women outside of Yellowknife have to travel. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Ms. Lee.
