Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I have a very short comment regarding home boarding within the health system. Firstly, the Kitikmeot boarding home is utilized by Kitikmeot patients, as the name implies. We have patients coming from other regions, mainly the Keewatin region. I am not saying that patients from the Keewatin region are not welcome; I think that more patients justify the need to have more space for the patients. The Kitikmeot boarding home is not big enough at this time to accommodate patients who are coming into the city of Yellowknife, even though other accommodations are being made at this time. I think we should be looking at getting another building or adding an extension to the existing building, but I do not think that is possible, given the size of land that the Kitikmeot boarding home is sitting on. I am not suggesting that we do it now, but this should be in the planning process. We need more space to accommodate patients coming from the Kitikmeot region and other regions. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
