Thank you, Madam Chair. I will have Deputy Minister DeLancey run through the process and come down to when we can produce some results.

Thank you, Madam Chair. To read the fine print I have to remove my glasses. The $15.588 million, I could give the breakdown of the authorities first of all. Starting with Beaufort, $3.3 million, roughly; Deh Cho, $1.4 million; Fort Smith, $1.4 million; Hay River, $2.6 million; Sahtu, $1.2 million; Stanton, $2.6 million; Tlicho, $900,000; YK, $2 million. This is for executive, corporate board trustees, planning and development, quality assurance, risk management, internal audit, finance, human resource system support, communications, material management and volunteer services.

Thank you. We will attempt to get to that review when we’ve completed the other reviews that are in the books now. We’re hoping that we’re able to complete the essential reviews that we had talked about on the other items that we’ve discussed here today. So if we’ve completed those reviews, then we will begin this review. I’m not sure that I can commit to completing a review within the next two and a half years, but we will attempt to do that.

I’m not sure I would commit to doing an inquiry, but I think we could check out, to keep it simple, to determine whether or not it’s our responsibility to go on to the highways through the Medical Travel Policy, medical travel to be able to go on the highway and get people through that service or if we’re using the system where we are trying to enhance certain ground ambulance services and key strategic communities throughout the North. I’m not sure if I could call for a public inquiry, but I could get that information and find out how this process works and get back to the Members.

Thank you, Madam Chair. We’re talking about 8-17, the health services administration division. I just want to get clarification because I’m not clear on what page we’re on here.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would have the deputy minister provide response to that. Thank you.

We’re just going to quickly add up the number here. I think it is $6.5 million.

I apologize. I thought that the Member had indicated that he was talking about the health services administration again, as he did in the first question. This is a question on the health and social services authority administration. I will have the director of finance provide a response.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I don’t have that information on the date, but we think that review had occurred in 2007, but we can check to confirm that.

Again, if there’s an accident and someone is in an accident that is on a highway that is out of one of the communities and it’s not something covered by medical travel or medevac services, as for the information I have, I’m not familiar with what the protocol is for getting people on the highways for such an accident as this. The first responders recognize that we’re trying to put regulations in to add emergency medical services in the medical professional umbrella legislation so that we can have that, so that we can have ambulance services where people would be qualified and insurable to be...
