Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wanted to go back to one more point that I had forgotten to mention, regarding the entrance in the stairway of the health facility in Arviat. During the summer, I met with the health committee and they raised with me, the concern of the entrance and how difficult it is for people to carry patients on stretchers and how steep it is to have to climb the stairs to get into the health centre. When I raised this with the Minister in the summer, the way I understand it, the Minister relayed this to the Department of Public Works, who then went to the regional health board. The regional health board indicated that there were no problems with the entrance of the health facility. This is one example where the communication becomes difficult, where a community would like some form of result, and it has ended at the regional health board because there is no representative. That is a concern that was raised with me, which came back to me eventually, with the comment that the regional health board felt that it was not necessary for anything to take place to the entrance of the health facility. I have more recently asked the Minister about the entrance, and I would like to get some clarification on what it is the department intends to do with the entrance of the health facility in Arviat. Thank you.
