Thank you, Mr. Chairman. When a number of RFPs went out to communities, it was open to anybody to put in a proposal to run these centres or depots, the equipment. It’s probably not fair to go to Minister Miltenberger at this point for this information because he’s just taken that on, but Minister Bell may have some information on this that he can share with the Assembly at this point.

Mr. Chairman, with me today is Lew Voytilla, secretary to the FMB.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the department has been working on redoing how it uses its space within this city. There were a number of clinics that were private that were taken into the Department of Health and Social Services so that they could better coordinate and use the services of the doctors in a more efficient manner. That started the work that is going on and since then, as well, trying to increase the amount of space available so more patients can be seen.

Working with the department and Yellowknife Health and Social Services they came up with this arrangement and the...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the intent is to have a program or a process in every community. When this was rolled out, it was discussed that the potential was initially to get the depots up and running and have the smaller communities look at ways that they may be able to stockpile or keep the recycling material until they could either get it into the other communities' depots by barge or by ice roads. That was discussed. This is the initial plan to get it up and running and they are hoping that in the future that they will be able to establish them in almost every community....
