With changes there are often glitches, if you will, and we are aware of the concerns the Member is bringing up. We remain committed to our original commitment, which is no loss of the number of jobs in the regions and communities. There would obviously be some changes in reporting relationships and maybe some functions within individual jobs. Recognizing this, the CEOs are meeting next week to talk about their change management process on this to bring back some clarity to something that should have been fairly simple.

The Member is correct. We need to make sure we have a plan that includes an exit strategy and that we use these dollars to help improve the system and put structures in place that will control things that the federal government will require. As I said, in the budget address by the federal government, they identified the $7 million over three years for new targeted and time-limited fund to increase health services in the three territories in priority health areas and to reduce reliance on outside health care systems and medical travel. These are the parameters. We will get more detail and as we...

I’m agreeing.

Clearly, we had some growing pains as we rolled out this new approach on renewing health care cards. We do provide notification to people. We are limited in providing it to known addresses and if people move or they change their post office boxes, we may occasionally miss an individual. I don’t know the situation you’re describing and if you want to share the details with me, please, so that we can insert it into our quality assurance process to make sure that we learn from it and make sure that that type of thing doesn’t happen again. I would say that we have experienced improvement since our...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Long-term care would be under territorial services as opposed to community services, but I understand the Member’s point. Obviously, with an aging population, this is something that we all need to be conscious and aware of, especially how that’s going to roll out and affect communities in the long-term.

We have the continuing care report that was distributed to Members early this week highlighting where we are now and where we need to go. That’s going to help us inform our Aging in Place Strategy. So, as we move forward with this Aging in Place Strategy we’ll start to...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The $3.2 million that’s in the budget for medical travel this year is the money I was talking about just a couple of minutes ago where we do have money for 2014-15, $3.2 million, but it’s not ongoing. Obviously we need to do some work there.

With respect to the $5.2 million that I mentioned for southern placement for adults and children, and that’s to go to different facilities in the South for programs and service that are available for our high needs residents here in the Northwest Territories, has been added to the base and it is ongoing funding. Every year we end up...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We’ve gone back to 8-37 on this. I think the information he’s referring to is some detail we provided after discussions on the mains with committee. We will get more information for the Member on that.

It’s not revenue, Mr. Chair. It’s on page 8-37 because it’s a third-party funding agreement.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. With me today on my left is Jeannie Mathison, the director of finance; and on my right, Debbie DeLancey, the deputy minister of Health and Social Services.

Mr. Chair, that will come out in the report that we promised.
