Thank you, Mr. Handley. Supplementary, Mrs. Groenewegen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Well, perhaps there's more to the workload than meets the eye, and I can see that that may be the case. However, I have heard a rumour, I don't know if it's true, but I've heard that Mr. Krutko has gone to Calgary 72 times in his tenure as Housing Minister and I don't know if that's true or not. But if that is true, I would suggest that Mr. Krutko doesn't have enough to do and I don't know what you could do to address that, but I have a concern with that. I do think there is not an even distribution of the workload and I would like to see the Premier come forward with something. One year left in our term is 25 percent. That's one-quarter of our term in office and it's a long time, and if the Premier can't see fit to do that, well, then maybe we need to offer some assistance from this side of the House. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. I don't know if I heard a question there, but I will allow the Premier to respond.

Mr. Speaker, I didn't hear a question either, but one comment I'll make is that a Minister's travel is distributed. It's on the website, I

believe. So we can make it available, and certainly I will check into whether it was 72. That is an awful lot of business done in Calgary. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Handley. Supplementary, Mrs. Groenewegen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That was one of the questions I was going to ask. There used to be a practice of tabling Ministers' travel in this House and it helped us gauge the kind of work that was being undertaken by the Ministers, and it was informative material. So what happened to that practice and is that still done? Thank you.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. Mr. Handley.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That information is still posted four times a year on the website. I don't think we distribute a paper document anymore, but it is on the website; it's done quarterly. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Handley. Final supplementary, Mrs. Groenewegen. Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. Oral questions. The honourable Member for Range Lake, Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Honourable Minister of Health and Social Services, Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'll commit to the Member that I'll work with the deputy and we'll ensure that steps are taken so there is consultation in a free and open environment with not only the management but the staff; as she indicated, unit by unit. We will compile that information and we will look at what comes out of that and how best to respond to that particular feedback. Thank you.

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

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I could tell you that these issues have been going on for quite a while. I have been listening to it for about a year and a half and, you know, it's just building and building and I don't think it's in the interest, actually, of the operation of the hospital and delivery of the health care services that this be continued any longer. I understand the extra impetus that the Minister and the department put on when session is on. It's nice. We could use this productively to shed light on issues that have been going on for a long time. So I want to set some time frames to the tasks that the Minister has undertaken. Could I get a commitment from the Minister that he would provide to us preliminary findings within the next two weeks? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we will provide our preliminary findings within two weeks.

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

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just to add one more thing to that, Mr. Speaker, I do appreciate the Minister's willingness to work on this. I need to mention the fact that there are some employees, and it's the case anywhere, where they are scared of bringing points forward. If consultation is to take place in an effective manner, and a substantive manner, in a positive manner, all efforts have to be made to make sure that people feel free to talk and that they are part of the building process and not fingering or blaming. So could I ask the Minister for a commitment to work with the DM and the senior management, that they will take the necessary steps to make sure the workers feel not intimidated and that they're free to put their input into what they think is wrong with the operation of the hospital, or what their working environment is like? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Clearly the Member must have been a negotiator at one time. I/m not sure how many questions she has left, but, yes, I'll commit to that as well. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Final supplementary, Ms. Lee.

Thank you. I'm going to go by very good...You know, sometimes we succeed here and sometimes not, and I have to tell you that the survey or whatever the HR department did in working out the questions to get at the concerns of the correctional services I thought were excellent. So I'd like to ask the Minister if he could review with us about sort of detailed methodology about how...He should talk with the senior management, whether it's by survey, or by interview, or by meeting; if he could work with us, from the Members on this side, as to what the plan is so that we could have some input into that process. Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we're going to be compressing a lot of activity here in a relatively short time frame, but as soon as we have an outline of how we intend to proceed, I will share that with the Member as the chair of Social Programs for her use and to be able to disburse to share with the other Members and for their feedback. Thank you.
