Thank you, Mr. Chair. I attempted to lay out the packages that were in the component pieces yesterday where, before we can move on to Stanton, we wanted to do the facilities review that would help us look at rationalizing our over-capacity on acute care beds to make some clear decisions on the types of programs that are going to be available. Before we could do any further work on Stanton as well, we wanted...an emergency where there was $6 million in the budget, it became clear that studies tell us that over 50 percent of the people coming into emergency for care are non-emergent care patients, that they could get a service in another setting less expensive and less time consuming which gets us to the issue of clinics with better hours, capacity for services, testing ability, waiting rooms, reception, which got us to the case of before we do any of those, we should look at trying to consolidate the old, inefficiently-laid-out, expensive-to-run, fragmented service provided by the current clinics downtown.

We pulled together and we are still working on rationalizing a plan that would allow us to do that and bring that proposal forward. It is not currently on the capital plan, but it is a piece that came up as we did our assessment of how do we improve the services, and it all was initiating when we started looking at Stanton. So we are going to be moving on the clinic piece. We are going to look at doing some improvements to the emergency, but we are still committed to, now that we finished the facilities review, working and finalizing the master development plan for Stanton to allow us to do the improvements that are necessary there.

As well, we want to be able to do some adjusting to budgets to assist us to make the case for the consolidating clinic piece, things like if we can do land exchanges in Yellowknife that won't necessitate us to spend $3 million on land, that will be a tremendous benefit to making a project viable. We are looking at all those different pieces. They are underway. The work in the Great Slave Clinic was under the primary health care transition fund going back almost three or four years now. That is giving us an idea of how we can actually demonstrate and work together on this integrated service delivery model with teams of people, of health professionals that work together, doctors, nurse practitioners, midwives and those types of folks with patients. We are going to take that experience, what we learn from there, and, as well, the work that has been done on electronic health records to allow us to expand, eventually, to electronic health record capacity throughout the North. Thank you.
