Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Member is correct; there is a working group that’s comprised of a few departments, Health and Social Services primarily from the GNWT, along with MACA and community governments. It’s sort of a two-pronged approach.

Health and Social Services is really looking at it from the aspect of ground ambulance and I think there’s some good work going on there and that they may be in a position to advance some legislation early in 2010. MACA primarily is working on a funding framework, as well as a specific policy framework with respect to highway rescue.

We have money in the budget this fiscal year for that, as well as next. Probably we look to have at some time in April, May, June to have a policy framework in place that would give us the basis to sort of engage community governments and come at this in a more systemic disciplined way, understanding that community governments don’t all have the same capacity to deal with issues nor the inclination to do it at the same time But certainly we hope to be able to have a policy framework that will at least articulate the minimum standards and service, should they decide to get in to play that game, what they might be. Thank you.
