Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health. Last Thursday, I asked the Minister of Health, recognizing that medical procedures used at the Stanton Yellowknife Hospital subject women to unnecessary pain during a procedure, and recognizing that the Minister of Health is initiating a review, if he would consider directing his department to develop a directive which would eliminate unnecessary pain which is imposed upon women who have abortion procedures taken through the Stanton Yellowknife Hospital. The Minister at that point had indicated, "Yes." I would like to know whether or not the Minister can assure this House that the directive has been implemented.
