I call Committee of the Whole to order. We have several items: tabled documents 4, 30, 38, 62, 66, 75 and Bills 4, 8 and 9. What is the wish of the committee? Mr. Beaulieu.

The Minister of Health, Ms. Lee.

Next I have Mr. Menicoche.

Under the Tlicho Health Authority, under the Tlicho Government, this facility, will it be a part of an asset of the Tlicho Government through the self-government arrangement with them with respect to developing assets in the Tlicho region?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. One thing the Minister does have control over is the time schedule of the ferry operations. I’d like him to seriously consider moving the ferry operations to 8:00 a.m. so that people will have the opportunity to do their work during the day, travel to Inuvik, make their appointment, get back home or even make their appointments to fly into southern Canada. You do have the power, you do have the means; all I ask is that you start the ferry operations in the Inuvik region at 8:00 a.m. starting next season.

The Minister of Health.

Mr. Abernethy.

Okay. I’ll go back.

Again, it’s too late for this ferry season to implement such an idea, but I’d like to ask the Minister if it’s possible for us to see the ferry operations for 2010-2011 taken into consideration so that we do bring our times in line with other ferry operations in the Northwest Territories similar to the ferry operation on the Liard River system, to coordinate it so that people know this is the time our ferries operate in the Northwest Territories. When we post it, people will know that they can have a reasonable time to travel and make their connections, and not put a barrier to the travelling...

Thank you, Ms. Lee. I think the report that was being referred to was the report in regard to the review that was done by Public Works on the infrastructure of the department. If you can get that report, great. Ms. Bisaro.
