Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Not a hundred percent sure how that relates to this particular capital, but I will go to the Minister for a response.

Does committee agree that we have concluded detail?

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Mr. Doan.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Department of Environment and Natural Resources starts on page 11-1. We will defer the department summary on page 11-2 and go straight to page 11-5, page 11-6 and page 11-7, the wildlife section. We are on Environment and Natural Resources, information item, wildlife, activity summary, infrastructure investment summary, total infrastructure investment summary, $250,000.

Thank you, committee. I’ll defer the title and begin the clause-by-clause. Is committee agreed?

I just want to follow up on some of the questions my colleague Mr. Ramsay was asking. It got a little confusing for me, but to sort of put it into perspective, I was wondering if the Minister could tell me what a Level A health and social services station is responsible for.

Thank you to the Minister for that. Same page, slightly different topic. I see that there are a number of replacements for health centres, one in Hay River, one in Fort Providence, as well as a renovation in Fort Smith and there’s a health centre and long-term care facility in Norman Wells. Given the strategic vision of this 16th Assembly, can you tell me whether or not those buildings are being built environmentally responsible? Specifically, are you putting pellet boilers and those types of equipment in these new health centres in the renovations to save us money over the long term? Thank...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Since being elected and coming into this Assembly, one of the issues that was on Yellowknife’s agenda, obviously, was the Stanton Territorial Health Centre here in Yellowknife. It was in the plan when we first got here, there was some work being done, but it seems that it’s dropped off and we often ask about the Stanton Master Development Plan and it seems to be gone yet again.

The building needs work. I know that there are things being done in the department, the Foundation for Change being the primary one, but I still wonder when are we going to see something come...

That’s fantastic news and I hope that you do re-engage those conversations.

Just for the record, the Minister was talking about the shows coming into the North from other locations. That is exactly what I am talking about, but I am talking about going the other way. I am talking about taking our product out to the people of the Northwest Territories. If the Minister could give me a bit of a timeline when those conversations might happen, I would certainly like to be involved in them as well. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
