Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just on the residential requirements for elders and persons outside the NWT. Is that not contracted out and if it is, why do we have to pay extra for these added costs? Usually you would find that the contractor knows he is going to incur those costs. Why are they only incurred now? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, they are a contract and each one is an individual contract. When we went to individual contracts, it could be to a number of different facilities, not just one. So there are a number of contracts and we have more people out there. That's why you see the costs going up. As well, the contracts, I don't have the particulars of each contract, but the contracts can have factors in there that would be required for hiring expenditures, as well as if there's an extension to that contract or a new contract signed there could be an increase in that area, as well. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wonder if the Minister could tell Members here what the percentage increase is for this $623,000 in relation to the overall dollars that we spend on accommodating elders and persons with disabilities outside the NWT. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the amount that was budgeted for 2006-2007 was $3.8 million, almost $3.9 million and the cost of to date and the reason why this is coming forward is $4.495 million. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Out of the $3.9 million that these contractors submit their tenders under, are they, are all these, is this basically like a blanket tender for any contractor? Are they pretty much a generic tender based on, are they based on a per client basis or based on a yearly accommodation basis on a year based on averages? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, as I stated earlier, they are individual contracts that are per individual because again they go to different facilities throughout other jurisdictions. The majority of them are within Alberta, but there are a number, for example Saskatchewan, B.C. or a couple of other places, that people are sent to depending on the types of conditions or the needs that need to be met. So it's their individual contracts and they change substantially if we have one more client go or move to a program or move to an alternate facility that changes the contract as well. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I guess maybe if I could ask the Minister, what does
Saskatchewan or B.C. offer that we can't find in Alberta? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I'm not, I'm hesitant to get into each particular case here because they're individual contracts, but sometimes it's availability of space as well. If Alberta is full up in their particular spots, then we would go further afield, as they say. Thank you.
