Thank you, Minister. Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Mr. Lafferty.

Debates of , 16th Assembly, 5th Session (day 39)

I don’t doubt that this is an opportunity to pursue this. I’m particularly concerned about the ALCIP program. How many courses are required to complete the ALCIP program and how many courses does this department offer per year in the South Slave or Beau-Del? Thank you.

Debates of , 16th Assembly, 5th Session (day 39)

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wonder if the Minister could remind me what the Healthy Children Initiative Program is. Thank you.

Debates of , 16th Assembly, 5th Session (day 39)

Before I go on on this one, I want to confirm that this is part of this section, the student financial assistance. Is that part of this program on page 10-17, education and culture?

Debates of , 16th Assembly, 5th Session (day 39)

My last question. I just want to confirm that the $400,000, all of that went to Food First Foundation for administration and delivery this year. Is that correct?

Debates of , 16th Assembly, 5th Session (day 39)

I’m very glad to hear that. I think the Minister has heard me speak numerous times on the important opportunity and key opportunity we have during early years of a life, to really provide the essential support to that person developing to their full potential. I think having qualified people working in our child development system is an important aspect of that.

The other thing I just want confirmation on, the Minister said in his response to general comments that he will consult with various parties involved. I’m wondering if he could just give me a little bit more information on who that...

Debates of , 16th Assembly, 5th Session (day 38)

Mr. Chairman, again, it seems a fairly straightforward thing to me. We have regular intakes of Bachelor of Nursing students. We are sending them out to communities. We need to make sure they have the training. I assume, within the deputy minister’s remarks, that will be assured and perhaps I can just get confirmation of that. Thank you.

Debates of , 16th Assembly, 5th Session (day 38)

Thank you, Mr. Lafferty, for those comprehensive remarks. Does committee agree that we now go to detail?

Debates of , 16th Assembly, 5th Session (day 38)

Thank you, committee. Returning to page 8-29, Health and Social Services, activity summary, community health programs, operations expenditure summary, $87.631 million. Agreed?
