Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the Minister what his department's intentions are for the hospital in Fort Simpson, because I stated in the House previously that our intention in Fort Simpson, and that area is to have proper health programs and services for Fort Simpson and the surrounding area, out of the hospital in Fort Simpson. We want to keep that hospital there and we would like to have better equipment. The personnel that work out of the hospital are good personnel at the present time, but we need more services, and we hear quite a few complaints from smaller communities that the service seems to be dwindling down. So I was wondering what is the ultimate purpose of this exercise of these six steps? What is the intention of the department? The Minister should tell us right now exactly what his intentions are. Is it ultimately to use this exercise to do an end run, shut down the hospital and make it into a glorified nursing station? Or is it to upgrade it to the way the people in the communities would like to see this hospital? Thank you.
