I guess that’s to my point; the complexity of this and the fact that we need a plan of this is what Public Works and Services is going to do, this is what Health is going to do, and then we can bring that to the union and see how this is going to roll out. Right now we don’t have a plan.

When will the two departments get together, have a plan and bring it to the MLAs and the union?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to follow up my questions and my statement with the Minister of Public Works and Services. I know Public Works and Services doesn’t control the current facility, and my first question to that Minister is: Why is Public Works and Services so interested in the new facility now, Mr. Speaker?

Will the Minister commit to giving me some of that documentation? He says they’ve consulted with the employees; they consulted with the authority. Because the authority, at the meetings that I’ve had, they don’t know where this maintenance project is going. They know that between Public Works and them having responsibility, but there’s nothing defined, nothing laid out. Like I said, there are employees’ jobs that are being considered, and without the information, people are making up stuff and people are thinking that there’s going to be job elimination. So, we need to get this plan forward.

Wi...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In follow-up to my Member’s statement on the new health centre, we’ve been informed that there is going to be a new maintenance system.

Can the Minister of Health tell me how this new system will roll out when the new health centre is opened?

Thank you, Minister Lafferty. Next I have Mr. Moses.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya, for those comments. Next I have on my list is Mr. Blake.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister Lafferty.

As I indicated, these are people’s jobs, people’s lives that are on the line, so they would like to hear this sooner than later.

My question is: Can we get this resolved as soon as possible? Not a set date, not when it opens, but as soon as possible. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I’d like to ask this Minister why we haven’t seen a plan going forward, how this maintenance is going to roll out, what his department is going to take over and what the Department of Health is going to take over. Why is it taking so long to get this plan completed? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can the Minister give me an indication of when this plan would be available and talk to the people, because the people want to know sooner than later. Can we get a date or even a month when this would be available? Thank you.
