Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. I think we will complete this section first before moving onto that, community services. So I have next, Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, committee. Does committee agree that this concludes Department of Health and Social Services infrastructure 2011-2012 Capital Estimates?

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Mr. Krutko, I am going to ask that we hold off on that until we get to community health programs, if you will and stick with this. It starts to get a little bit into program. So, committee, if we can just confirm on page 6-6, the health services programs, activity summary, infrastructure investment summary, total infrastructure investment summary, $15.491. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, your committee has been considering Tabled Document 66-16(5), NWT Capital Estimates 2011-2012, and would like to report progress. Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a quick question on the small capital replacement, the evergreening sorts of things. This is sometimes a cumbersome process to put it through this sort of capital planning. Is there some thought to going to a routine evergreening process where we don’t have to examine each microscope being replaced, so to speak, please? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. We will await further information on who owns the current health centre in Behchoko. That will be provided by the Minister, unless there is somebody else here who can comment on that. Thank you very much. Committee, I think that I don’t see any more questions on page 6-9. Page 6-9, Health and Social Services, activity summary, community health programs, infrastructure investment summary, total infrastructure investment summary, $800,000. Is committee agreed?

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. Committee, we are on page 6-6, the Department of Health and Social Services. Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, committee. I’d like to thank the Minister and his witnesses and ask the Sergeant-at-Arms to please escort the witnesses from the Chamber. Mahsi. Mr. Abernethy.

I think it was appreciated that members of the internal working group were there and they, clearly, participated in those unanimous conclusions. I’m sure the Premier is hearing from the working group about that.

Business is an essential partner at the table and they can contribute to the work and enjoy the rewards of both consumers and workers as noted. Will the Premier commit to assisting in the development of the steering committee towards bringing business to the table at the start of this work? Thank you.

Thank you, committee. Mr. Krutko, you’ve asked your question. Are you prepared to answer, Ms. Lee?
