Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The way this funding is accessed is through the collaborative approach where the communities in the region work with their authorities to the pull together their lists. They should be monitoring the supplies that are there. The folks who have been involved in setting up this basic list that Mr. Murray referenced are all from the authorities, as well as headquarters. So there should be, on a yearly basis, those kinds of lists monitored and updated. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am glad that Mr. Yakeleya brought it up because when I was in Sachs earlier in January, when I was visiting the health centre there, apparently they were short of quite a bit of minor, small equipment for the health centre there. It's just something that I hope the Inuvik Regional Health and Social Services can work with the smaller communities to make sure they get the right...If they request more towels for just general hygiene stuff, they can access it under this fund. Maybe I will pursue it further, but with that, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chair, what I can commit to do, and report back to the Social Programs committee, is, we will ask the

authorities to provide us with a list of the communities and the status of their basic equipment that should be there to ensure that we have some current information that I can share with the committee through the chair, Ms. Lee. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The information page before us shows that $505,000 was committed in prior years to the Territorial Treatment Centre in Hay River. I would like to ask what that expenditure was used for, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I also have information, not on this page, that another $125,000 has been committed to the TTC in Hay River this current year. What was that $125,000 committed for, Mr. Chair?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That was a residual from the TTC project from Yellowknife for site remediation. There was money in the overall budget for any contamination and so on that may be found on site. So that money is expected to lapse this year because we are not in a position to actually be doing that work this current fiscal year. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, $2.595 million is booked for the TTC expenditure in Hay River. When may we anticipate that there will be tenders called and we will have a chance to look at how accurate our forecasting is on this project, Mr. Chair?
