Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just wanted to weigh in, I guess, on the fact that the Stanton Master Development Plan is not included in the capital plan again this year, to my great disappointment. That was an item that appeared in the capital plan for a number of years running. It was taken out for whatever reason that was given at the time. I think it was to study things a little bit
further, analyze this or look at that. Some excuse was given why that was taken out. The bottom line is that decisions are being made on a day-to-day basis, operational decisions at that hospital, which is the flagship of our health care system in the Northwest Territories. In the absence of any grand master plan and how those decisions ultimately would fit into that plan, and obviously it’s not done and isn’t appearing anywhere in the capital plan or on the horizon, I guess I just wanted to make that point again this year. I know the Minister has already answered the question that Mr. Abernethy has asked her about the master plan. She doesn’t have to answer it again, because I heard the answer.
The other thing I wanted to talk about -- and this defies any logic, really, when you think about it -- the renovation to the health centre in Fort Smith and the replacement of the facility in Hay River, two communities that are very close together and service the same area. We’re basically replicating the level of service in each one of those communities. I’d like to ask the Minister maybe if she could, for the record, explain how it is or why it is that these scarce capital dollars are being used to replicate the provision of services in those two communities to the same degree within a short period of time from one another.
