Thank you, Mr. St. Germaine. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Again, just to recap very briefly what was found during the audit and why the committee felt compelled to include this motion. The procedures manual currently being used is fairly dated. It is a fairly large document. I believe it was over 600-and-some pages. We have recently been given an update that they are looking at certain chapters, that they will be performing or at least the department will be looking at. We encourage and hope for the facilitation of the completion and modernization of this procedures manual in the short order rather than the long order. Again...

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Mr. Aumond.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Minister Miltenberger.

I guess the question I have is that clinic has been operational now for some time here and it’s only now that we’re transferring from the Department of Health to Public Works and Services.

Do we have other scenarios right now in the Northwest Territories where the Department of Health does have a number of their leases, or are all leases now going under Public Works and Services? Thank you.

Thank you, committee. Sergeant-at-Arms, if you could please escort the witnesses into the Chamber.

Minister Miltenberger, if you could please introduce your witness to the House.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I think, again, the motion is very self-explanatory, but to add a little clarifier to this is I believe Members, including the Auditor General of Canada, felt that because of the lack of reporting for the many years that had occurred, trying to follow the financial implications, but more importantly, the human resource requirements in delivering the much needed care for the most vulnerable was definitely a daunting task for the review and the audit. Again, this motion basically speaks to the fact that both financial and human resource requirements should be determinants...

Thank you, Mr. Aumond. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. For that, I’ll go to Mr. St. Germaine.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. If the Minister would like to provide some clarity in terms of the negative operations expenditure of $326,000. Again, it talks about costs associated for Yellowknife Consolidated Health Clinic lease. If I can get a clarification on that, please. Thank you.
