Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Before we conclude this department, the Special Committee on Health and Social Services had a public meeting in Fort Providence during the last week of February. At that time, this whole issue of the community health representatives came up, the CHR programs. At the public meeting, there was no opposition to what the communities wanted to do in that direction. For the record, Mr. Chairman, I would like to know whether or not I am serving any purpose by sitting here trying to represent this community, as this department is suggesting that perhaps they should rely on other people in the communities to give us that
direction. I still represent about 75 per cent of the status people in Fort Providence and about 20 per cent of the Metis people in Fort Providence. I do not think it is right that this department, every time an initiative is going to take place, should consult everyone in order to stall things. Quite frankly, I am disappointed that I am sitting here wasting words, and I do not know whether or not being elected and representing my constituency serves any purpose, if what I am doing is chewing the fat. Thank you.

I would like one clarification with regard to the tabled document which was given on AIDS. I would like to ask the Minister if a study was done with regard to AIDS, an independent study, and the results of that study? Did we have an actual independent study done besides this document?
