Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As we proceed with the pilot, we will take into consideration the Member’s comments. We have, in fact, been doing this now for quite a number of years, and I’m assuming… I know that the people that are in this business are looking for ways as we try to do more and more recycling and the volume goes in, and we’re talking millions and millions and millions of containers, of efficient ways to do this. Part of the pilot will be looking at what we’re now doing, which is basically the manual weighing things and that type of stuff, and the efficiency of this particular...

Another piece that has to be done and we will be working on tied into this class C estimate is the P3 analysis. There is going to be $20 million in the budget upcoming for ’14-15, so the actual schedule, without having seen the class C estimate, I don’t think, is clearly in place, but I’ll ask Mr. Guy if he would want to add any particular detail that he may have.

We have an air quality program coordinator that is involved in this whole project. So I will be talking to the deputy. We will be looking at the concerns the Member has raised and the suggestion he’s made about the different location and we’ll give it its due and full consideration, recognizing the urgency of the concern. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I apologize for my distraction here. Are we talking automated beverage containers? Okay, it’s for Hay River because Hay River is a major regional centre where a lot of the recycling flows through, and it’s to assist and provide efficiencies both in dealing with the volume and being more accurate in terms of counting the recycled product. Thank you.

The plan as it now exists on a go-forward basis is, yes, that we have carry-overs this year. The plan will have further reference and the intent would be to have it concluded through the next two cycles, so that by ’15-16 the project will be complete.

Mr. Speaker, I have a return to oral question asked by Mr. Bromley on February 21, 2013, regarding the Giant Mine Remediation Project.

There are a number of tools that will be available post transfer date related to setting securities. The Northwest Territories Waters Act has provisions for securities which are set by the boards. The boards also set securities under the Mackenzie Valley Land Use Regulations. Post devolution, in addition to the boards’ processes that were mentioned, the Government of the Northwest Territories will have the authority to set securities under the Territorial Land...

As a matter of business and practice as a government, we review our processes and we have to be accountable for carry-overs and we do that. We can look at the things we control. I understand in the circumstance and in the project the Member is talking about there was also issues with the contractor that caused delays and slowed things down. So those types of things have to be managed.

Often we don’t control the outcome or how it may end up being finalized. Our job is to make sure the project gets done. In this case it contributed to the delay and I think resulted in some of the carry-over. This...

Thank you, Madam Chair. The project timelines are there even with the carry-overs. The commitment is to get it up and running. The benefits are very clear about the value of electronic medical records.

With regard to the comments about legislation, the questions and queries about legislation and the plan of the department, I would ask the Minister of Health to respond to that particular question. Thank you.

I’m not sure if the Minister actually caught that question. I’d maybe ask if the question could be repeated. The Minister may have that number with him.

The Member and I will have to, I suppose, agree to disagree in terms of our commitment, our commitment to Stanton, our commitment to managing a whole system for all Northerners wherever they live.

Recognizing that Stanton is our flagship, it is now in need of the repairs. That need has been increasing. We’re going to be putting in $20 million next year. The class C estimate will be done this fall, and as that comes due and as we look at it, then we will look at the financing and timeline. But I don’t think that the Member should doubt for a second that we don’t recognize, we this Legislature...
