As per the schedule, the construction is scheduled to start in 2013.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My understanding is that the program in the Deh Cho is rolling out now. We have expanded the program in 2013 to include a base in Fort Simpson and having satellite operations of the Healthy Family Program in Fort Liard and Fort Providence.

The department has no problem providing a briefing on the plan for Stanton.

I thought I heard Food Challenge Program but I’m not familiar with that. I thought we were talking about Healthy Families. I’m lost. I didn’t hear if he said food challenge.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. During ’13-14, we will complete the planning to a Class C estimate. The money that’s in the capital plan here for ’13-14 should take us to the stage where we’re in here requesting money. The first bit of capital work to start on ’14-15. That’s the plan. That’s where we’re headed to.

As the Member is aware, we essentially started the new budget three months into this fiscal year. Within that budget is where we are funding this forum. The forum has not travelled yet. Their first function will be to come together in one central location. From then on they will travel to two or possibly as many as four communities in each region, the four different forums, and they will come back together with their recommendations. Once they come with their recommendations, we will be matching what is needed. In addition to that, we are reviewing the one residential treatment centre that we...

The process used is a business case. We have to develop a business case working with the authorities. The three authorities in which we’re building business cases for to create flexibility in the physician funding is Tlicho, Fort Smith and Hay River.

We have a treatment facility on the Hay River Reserve, Nats’ejee K’eh. The department spends about $2 million annually on that facility to run it. Including Yellowknife, there is a counselling program, a community counselling program where we have $6 million. Then we have the on-the-land programs, which their allocation is approximately $25,000 per community. So off the top of my head, those are the programs that are available today. There is no other infrastructure outside of Nats’ejee K’eh that’s available for residential treatment. Thank you.

What Mr. Bromley is referring to is health records, electronic health records. So if the Chair has no objection, I would like to have the deputy minister explain the difference between electronic health records and electronic medical records.

We work with the practitioners that use the facility to provide the health service in the design aspect of the centres, and also during the development of the design, we consult with the health and social services authorities responsible for that particular community.
