I think that, Mr. Chairman, the answer is clearly, for whatever reason, our NWT people are generally at greater risk and have been for quite some time. We talked about differences yesterday in terms of the way HIV is transmitted. In the NWT, it is largely by male to female, female to male transmission as compared to southern Canada. That was a difference. I would say that, yes, Mr. Lewis, it looks to me like there are differences which indicate that the risk of picking up an STD in the NWT is higher than it is in the rest of Canada.
