Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have no further questions about an operations issue.
I would like to ask the question, though, with regard to the item in the budget for the Stanton Territorial Hospital. I noticed with the Minister of Finance’s opening remarks yesterday, he stated $29.6 million for health facility replacements, including funding for the upfront planning for the upgrades that will be required at Stanton Territorial Hospital. In the budget itself it says Stanton Territorial Hospital and planning study only. So I’m a little confused as to whether or not the money for Stanton is going to be used, well, I guess it’s planning, but is the money a planning study for a new hospital, or is it a planning study to do upgrades on the current old hospital?
We’ve been doing upgrades for quite a few years. It’s an aging building and in order to keep it in service, we’ve been doing upgrades for a number of years, but are we now doing further upgrades or are we planning for a new building? Thank you.
