Madam Speaker, I believe that the Northwest Territories has more to offer than money and benefits. By and large, many of the physicians and medical practitioners, nurses or educators, do come to the Northwest Territories for an experience. Unfortunately, many of them don't stay a long time because they come from another part of the country where their families are. We have the same problem when we try to relocate our own people in another region of the Northwest Territories. They want to stay close to home. It is no less important to people who come from southern Canada. At this point in time, there is no adjustment or an active look at the fees and fee schedules. I believe we did it not too long ago, so they have been set and the amounts and parameters of what those are, are available for public consumption. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
