Thank you, Madam Speaker. I am glad my colleague from Iqaluit is speaking to a very important issue; that is the seriousness of TB. My question is to the Minister of Health and Social Services. I just learned, Madam Speaker, that we have again a TB outbreak in the community of Rae-Edzo. My question to the Minister is what her department and the Mackenzie regional health board are doing to combat this very serious disease. Thank you.

Madam Speaker, on the issue of tuberculosis in Rae, the Mackenzie regional health staff are now insisting that all prescribed medicine be taken under observation for six to nine months. The whole population of the area is targeted for tuberculosis screening. As well, there are some issues in terms of the social conditions of these communities in trying to identify these areas which can be corrected. They are creating a presence and spreading of tuberculosis. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
