Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just have a comment and a couple of questions. It’s been said before by a number of Members, but I have to say it again since we are now in the Health and Social Services department and that is the lack of focus on the renewal project for the Stanton Hospital.

I know that there’s money in this budget, but it’s not going to lead to any significant construction in the near future. I want to reiterate again how important it is that this government find a way to finance this project and that we do it sooner rather than later.

I followed with interest the back and forth on the long-term care and needs of the territory. I am in full support of the work that Avens is doing. I have been privy to a briefing on their plan. I think it’s a great plan and I’m a little surprised that the department is now going out and doing the same work that Avens had done. It seems to be a waste of our resources. The numbers from the Avens report are pretty evident and I think the research is sound, so I’m not sure why we are doing the same research over again.

I didn’t hear from the Minister when he expects he would be able to get the research they’re doing on the long-term care planning and if he did give a date, then my apologies. Could I know roughly within a month or so when you expect the long-term care planning study will be done? Thank you.
