Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Health. In the Edmonton Journal of Saturday, March 28th, there was an article headlined, "Anesthetic Essential -Morgentaler." This is a fellow who has been a very strong advocate of proper medical procedures with regard to abortions. Yet, at Stanton Yellowknife Hospital, Dr. Suzanne Perkins stated that almost all of their abortion patients are sedated with some kind of pain killer. What does 'almost all of their patients" mean? Does it mean 99 per cent, or 50 per cent? We do not have the figure in here. I would like the Minister to inform me of the percentage.
