Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Earlier this week, I think it was yesterday, I made a statement in the House about Drop the Pop, where we did indicate that we were working with the grocery stores across the Territories to help them be our partnerships. We can’t directly tell them what to sell and not. I think the best way is to encourage them to be our partners and understand that there will always be some people who will make choices for pop rather than something healthier, but as much as possible we would work with our partnerships and grocery stores would be one of them. We are expanding our investments into Healthy Choices Framework which deals with healthy eating and such. Thank you.

That’s the new position for Healthy Choices Framework and that’s the health promotion and healthy eating. That’s one of our strategic initiative investments.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just have a question here in relation to funding for the Stanton Territorial Health Authority. I wonder if the $69.5 million for that authority includes any development of a Stanton Master Plan for renovations. Thank you.

I have spoken in my general comments about the need for Stanton to be redeveloped, redesigned, refurbished. I think the Minister knows as well as anybody, it’s a 20-year-old building and we need to get planning sooner rather than later. It’s our only territorial hospital. When can we expect that there will be money for the hospital for the Stanton hospital to do the development of a master development plan? Thank you.

Even though there isn’t any planning money, there is a lot of work being done on that issue. I would just like to get the deputy minister to given an update on where we are on that. Thank you.

The original work in Stanton looked at services in the current state and the issue is how we push greater services out to the community and we use technology to support some of that. Some of the services also have to be looked at. How can we move some services, for example, to Hay River? How can we use our physicians in a different way to mobilize? So that work on the real adjusted service plan under Foundation for Change has begun with the CEOs and myself, also with the medical directors and a few directors around how we’ll actually have the ability. What services can we continue to do? What other services and how is the best way to deliver it? So the initial planning before you get into master planning for the capital purpose has started. They will dovetail at some point and part of the medical review is also going to give us input into what kind of services we are actually moving people for, how we can better do some of those here or do support community to manage them. So it’s very complex. I would suggest that it’s probably a year out before we can start to marry that up with the capital planning process. That again is a different process, so I can’t say when that would fit on a master plan.
