Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Mr. Kalgutkar.

Madam Chair, I appreciate the need for consultation. I’m glad that that is part of the Minister’s plan, but I’ve been hearing about these potential changes for over a year now. I’m concerned that we’re going to talk ourselves to death and we’re going to be continuing to spend and need infusions of three and four million dollars into these two health authorities for several more years. With some concerted effort, I think, with a bit more concentration on a couple of changes, we could be saving some money and creating a much more efficient system than what we have now.

I guess I would like to ask...

Thanks to the Premier for that clarification. So again I would like to ask if we can get, as Members, a copy of the documents which went to the Standing Committee on Social Programs in December 2010 and the one that went to the Standing Committee on Social Programs in December 2011.

Thank you very much. Next on my list is Mr. Bromley.

Okay. Page 5, Human Resources, operations expenditures, human resource strategy and policy, not previously authorized, $123,000.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’ve got a couple of questions on this page. I do want to comment specifically on the cost itemized, the $3.335 million that’s itemized for contributions to the Beaufort-Delta Health and Social Services Authority and Stanton Territorial Health Authority.

I spoke about this in my general comments, but I would like to know at this point, and the Minister kind of gave a bit of an answer previously, that we’re sort of working to fix this, but having been here for four years, I’ve been hearing this for awhile now. I’d like to know, at this point, whether or not I can get any...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have to ask a question of the Premier following up on my colleague’s questions with regard to the announcement for Betty House. I have heard the Premier say that the money was approved in 2009, part of Canada’s Economic Action Plan in 2010 – I think in 2010 – and then he also said that the Standing Committee on Social Programs was advised in December of 2010. I wonder if the Premier could commit to providing the documents which would verify that. I have no recollection of that particular information being provided to Social Programs. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Mr. Miltenberger.

Alright. We’ll move on to the Executive. Executive, operations expenditures, Ministers’ offices, not previously authorized, negative $257,000.

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Minister Miltenberger.
