Mr. Chairman, I find it awfully hard to believe we’d go through a zero-based review at that hospital and not know exactly how many unfunded positions there are or exactly how many unfunded programs there are. To me, that’s unfathomable. I don’t understand it.
It’s a good thing we’re not doctors, because it’s taken us — and still taking us — over three years, and we still haven’t figured out how to stop the bleeding. It’s a good thing we’re in the profession we’re in, I guess, and not doctors. We really need to get a handle on what’s happening out there.
If the Minister doesn’t have the answers to those questions, I’d also like to ask the Minister of Health: how is Stanton going to pay back the $26 million? I’ve heard varying amounts on what the accounts receivable are at today.
I know Nunavut owes us some money, but I think $6 million is what I’ve heard. That doesn’t come close to paying back the $26 million. I’d like to know where we’re going to get that $26 million from.
Maybe the Minister can help me understand that a little bit better.
