Just to probe that a little bit, that could be interpreted with different degrees here, so I’m interested in… Let’s start with the basic use for the most fundamental things on the list. Is every community capable of using it for speech pathology sorts of work and for counselling, say?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. First, I just wanted to say that I strongly support the comments of my colleague Ms. Bisaro with regard to the Stabilization Fund. We requested that there be a tune-up in the timing and whatnot on this and the Premier responded in spades. I know that’s really appreciated by a lot of the groups out there. Thank you for that.

I especially agree with the need to recognize those who are not providing services to government. They actually are, it’s just that we don’t recognize them in a formal way. They are often working on the commons and so on. I would recommend something...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wanted to follow up on my general comments about the mental health programs. Specifically, I know the Minister is aware that this House is on record as wanting to see action in the way of diversion in particular, especially diversion from our court systems and corrections systems, which are ineffective without mental health issues being addressed and certainly very expensive and drawing resources away. On top of that, the crime bill, Bill C-10, is exacerbating those costs greatly and detracting from other important programs. My more specific questions for the...

Thank you. My understanding, is it public what the amount of return was on the money that was lent out and is it possible to report whatever our return was minus that 1.4 percent?

Thank you, Madam Chair. I’d like to follow up on my earlier questions on the telehealth infrastructure and use of the technology. I appreciated the Minister’s information that we actually do have telehealth infrastructure in all 33 communities. That was really good news. I’m wondering, first of all, what activities or programs are we currently using that equipment for.

I came up with that, 13. Is there overlap with the office of the secretary to Cabinet positions?

Of course, there is a second number that’s important there, three out of how many, and that needs to be compared to what I understand is a 4 or 5 percent success rate for other programs. It would be interesting to hear those numbers. Thank you.

I’ll leave that question, Madam Chair. Of interest, of course, is the renewal of key federal transfers, in particular the Territorial Formula Financing Agreement, the 2018-19. I must have been dreaming, but that’s the first I’ve heard of that and I know we had a pretty good one in place up to 2014. I’m wondering if the Minister could comment on how it looks for the subsequent four years, if the previously existing one is still good through 2014 or if this one replaces that. That would be good to know about. Of course, the others are important too. We’ll hear about those eventually, I’m sure.

Mr. Speaker, how long after the bridge is completed will toll collection begin? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. If I could find out what positions are dedicated to the office of devolution. Thank you.
