Thank you, Madam Speaker. The money that was approved in 2004-05 for the Territorial Treatment Centre and subsequently brought forward this year would lapse and as we are doing now, the money has now been identified through the supplementary appropriation that is going to come before this House and will be dealt with in that fashion, requesting the Assembly to approve the change in designation of those funds. Those funds were identified for the facility, Territorial Treatment Centre, in Yellowknife. To move that money now to upgrade that facility would require approval of this Assembly....

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The reason the department was asking for this money initially was to provide the start-up funds. So that is setting up the depots, the equipment that would be needed. At that point, as the recycled materials started arriving and we started sending out the materials for the rebate, then as the money flowed in it would allow them to then become self-sustaining. The goal is to be self-sustaining, but it was realized at that point that start-up costs needed to be identified and attached to this to make it a worthwhile process and to have it come into place.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the funding has been broken down into the different regions and the number of delegates from those communities. For example, Deh Cho, Fort Simpson, four delegates from the 13 communities and GNWT staff. Norman Wells, again four delegates from the 11 communities and staff as well as the Beaufort-Delta. It has been developed with a budget around how many people they are going to get from the different communities and the staff there and the cost for travel, accommodation and facilitator fees. It has been broken down for that. For actual information...

Mr. Chairman, I didn’t quite get the full question on that one. Was it what the money would be used for? Capital equipment to set up the depots and regional processing centres is what it’s identified for. Was there more information the Member was requesting on that?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, one part of the ask that we put forward in the supplementary appropriation belongs to the Department of Health and Social Services. The other part belongs to Municipal and Community Affairs. The ask from the Department of Health and Social Services for the conference is $378,000. Indeed, the conferences are to be held during the month of June in Norman Wells, Inuvik and Fort Simpson. I guess the report will be brought back to the Minister at that point. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, it is something that we obviously have to wrestle with on an annual basis when we build a budget; about the size of the government as it is, the growth that happens and where we situate our services is in much of our discussion earlier and I am sure that there will be other items as we go forward.

It is something that we have to look at and I think overall when you compare our jurisdiction to many others, we have one of the better systems available. Yes, it does need improvement and we are trying to work with communities, regions and with the federal...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the information that we have is that there are discussions happening in a number of these communities to see if in fact they can be established, but there are no concrete plans in place at this point beyond those that have been identified. Even with the ones that have been identified, this has been delayed from its initial implementation date due to some difficulties with getting it up and going. Thank you.

Yes, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the project that initially got started on was identified for the $350,000. As the project was proceeding, the Yellowknife Health and Social Services Authority wanted to further increase the space that they were working on and made the arrangements with the department to put more money into it. So this is the way we are recording it, is under their initiative it was to further increase the size of the project, the floor space, the offices, at their request, and they’re in agreement that they would put the $400,000 into it. But we do have to account for...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, there is a plan to establish beverage recycling depots in the regional centres or regional locations. The setup process centres are in Yellowknife, Hay River, Inuvik; and depots in six communities: Fort Smith, Hay River, Fort Simpson, Yellowknife, Rae and Inuvik. That is the plan and I believe they are due to roll it out soon. Thank you.
