Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to pursue the matter of authority of the Minister of Health. I have before me the Territorial Hospital Insurance Services Act, and 5(e) says: "Subject to this act, the board may..." -- the board in this particular case is the THIS Board, that was replaced to be the Minister -- "...may license, supervise and inspect hospitals in the Territories and ensure that adequate standards are maintained in the hospitals." Would the Minister indicate to me what this means in terms of services that are being provided for abortion procedures in hospitals?
