Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Unfortunately we did cut off Mr. Beaulieu. He’ll have a chance to reply.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just to add, that is why our work on the Integrated Service Delivery Model is so essential. Once we decide what services we need to deliver, we would cost out those services, then build in a funding formula. That would be the most accurate way to build the funding formula. As Ms. Bisaro had indicated, in developing the proper budget, well,
this Integrated Service Delivery Model will help us to build a proper budget.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’m wondering if the Minister could provide some details on the NWT National Diabetes and Chronic Disease Surveillance System.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just wanted some detail on the NWT National Diabetes and Chronic Disease Surveillance System. We have $177,000 committed to it, and I’m just wondering if I can get some details as to what it is and how it works.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There are a number of national surveillance systems set up under the Public Health Agency of Canada. These are systems where we enter information into national systems so that the Public Health Agency can track trends and diseases nationally. I believe I would have to get back with more detail if the Member wants more than this, but this just supports our staff position to participate in this national surveillance program.

I think that’s enough of a cursory intro to know exactly what that is. Just one other last question. Under drug treatment funding program, Nats’ejee K’eh Centre Youth Treatment Program, are there any deliverables under this particular section? We have a section worth commitment, requiring $345,000. I’m just wondering if there’s any reporting or deliverables that we see sent to the Legislature.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There has been no deliverables on this budget. It was again, Nats’ejee K’eh being part of the Deh Cho Health and Social Services that we are reviewing Nats’ejee K’eh as we indicated earlier that we’re pulling the Nats’ejee K’eh Treatment Centre under the department and just need to do some logistical work, I suppose, with reserves, since the treatment centre sits on the reserve, they have not spent their budget since 2011-2012.

I have to admit I didn’t quite understand the Minister’s response. We, in 2011-2012, funded them $430,000, in 2012-2013 we gave them $345,000, there’s a request for $345,000 continuing and he’s saying they’re not spending their money. What I was asking was, is there a report or deliverable done on this research. It looks like it says it’s funding provided by Health Canada to research, design and develop the intervention treatment services module that would have both residential and community components, and enhanced capacity, yada-yada-yada. I mean, I’m sure they have it in front of you. I’m just wondering what the deliverable is and what do we get to see.
