Thank you, Madam Chair. As to expand on the Minister's comments, in the main estimates before the Legislature, for 2006-07, we are investing almost $1.1 million to create 12 new full-time positions. Those positions are the first of basically a three-year implementation for the rehab teams. Each of the teams will have 11 members, but creating three new teams with 11 members in each will be way too much to expect to be able to implement in one year, so it is being phased in over a three-year period.
One team will be located in, split between Fort Smith and Hay River and be responsible for south of the lake. There is a central team that is located at Stanton. There will also be one located out of Beaufort-Delta or the Inuvik hospital that will serve the Sahtu and the Inuvik region. Between
the Stanton and Yellowknife teams, there will be two. They will also be serving the Tlicho and Deh Cho regions. As I said before, this is actually a three-year rollout plan. We will be intending to include in the 2007-08 business plans requests for additional $2.2 million to additional positions in 2007-08 and 2008-09.
Just a follow-up big on the classification comments the Minister made, human resources has the ability to do market surveys for positions across Canada and then they take that information and compare the cost of living for each of the communities in those regions, as well.
I might add that this is all being part of our funding out of the last First Ministers' accord for health care. We are being able to do this because of increased federal investment. Thank you.
