Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I have a question for the Minister of Health and Social Services. Mr. Chairman, I am familiar with some of the work where we would call territorial doctors' pool. What I am looking at is a situation of how, having doctors living in the Northwest Territories that serve the Northwest Territories is important not only to the people they serve but also just in general to the economy. There are lots of positive aspects. I have thought about ideas. If you need two doctors in the Sahtu, you hire four doctors and they all work half-time in the Sahtu, and they work half-time in the hospital here because a lot of the doctors need to work in both places. They need to work in a hospital environment. They work in pediatrics. A lot of the doctors need to maintain some sort of designation by working in certain areas, and they can do general practitioner work as well. I would like to ask the Minister, how far along the road has this department gone to bring that type of pool into the Northwest Territories, a territorial doctors' pool? How far are they from not using locums in the Northwest Territories as doctors? Thank you.
