Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just one question here with regard to deficits for authorities. Over the years that I’ve been here, we’ve had a number of authorities which have been in deficit on a regular basis. Yellowknife Health and Social Services Authority is one, Stanton is another one and, I believe, the Beau-Del Health and Social Services Authority is also basically underfunded. I know that the department is working, particularly with regard to Stanton, to try and revise how they’re funded to try and determine which activities should be done by Stanton and which should not. My first question is...

Thank you, Mr. Guy. Mr. Moses.

Thank you, Minister. Mr. Hawkins.

Question has been called.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. We are on general comments. Are there any further general comments, committee?

Before we go to detail, I will go to the Minister for response to general comments, if he wishes.

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. To the motion.

Thank you all for that explanation. I think I’ll just leave the $125,000; $175,000 sounds a lot better, so I’ll take that. Thank you very much.

I have another question. It’s more of a concern, really. The Minister’s Forum on Addictions and Community Wellness, I think it’s now called, has been going on for some time. When the forum was first designed, it was a forum on mental health and addictions, and the terms of reference were designed under that title, and then the title was changed.

Thank you, Mr. Moses. Mr. Abernethy.

Thank you, Mr. Guy. Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Mr. Moses. A motion is on the floor. To the motion. Mr. Moses.
