I am afraid to ask. My question, Mr. Speaker, is to the Minister of Health, and I do not want him to take offence with it. My question is about the "NWT Way," in terms of health care. In this "NWT Way" model for health care, the model includes a proposal that would require the Keewatin Region to send its patients to Yellowknife rather than to Churchill or Winnipeg. Mr. Speaker, the residents of my constituency have a long-standing association with the health care facilities in Churchill and in Winnipeg, which has proved very satisfactory over the last 10, 15, 20 years. We do not wish to lose, at this time, that association; and we do not want to send our sick people to Yellowknife. Will the Minister of Health now alleviate the concerns of the region by indicating to the House that he plans to reject the proposal where Keewatin patients travel to Yellowknife for health care?
