Thank you. On the first point, we are compiling documents to respond to the various commitments that we’ve made over yesterday and today and we will get it to the Members as soon as possible. I mean within hours and days here as the staff put it together.

I know that the Member has mentioned many a time about me coming to the standing committee with a document that showed that we were going to reduce the deficit at Stanton to zero. Honestly I cannot see how that kind of document could have been possible. I am aware that we had many, many discussions, because, as the Member has referred to a number of times, Stanton, Beaufort-Delta and Yellowknife on a number of occasions have experienced deficit.

I don’t think any government or department could put as its objective that year, that year two or three we’re going to balance the budget in health care. That just cannot be an objective of any government. The objective has to be we want to deliver quality health care services in the most efficient and effective way possible. That has been my goal for the last three and a half years.

The way we do that is, with the deputy minister being the PA of both authorities, we are looking at system changes. We are looking at how we are using our physician resources. If there are areas that are underfunded, we are making cases to FMB to make those cases where we could change the scope of practice of our professions to deliver the system better. We are doing that where we could access resources for electronic means and information technology to help us deliver the programs better. We are doing that.

Every day of our work in delivering health care is about delivering health care but also of managing the budget. I know the Member has mentioned that a lot, but I really don’t think we’ve had a discussion where our objective is to balance the budget to zero. I don’t think any government could do that. I don’t think we could take $30 million out of our health care budget and see no effect. Our entire government is under restraint mode. We’re mindful of our budget restraints. I don’t think you could cut a lot. I think what we can do is try to be efficient and effective with the resources we have.
