Mr. Chairman, it is the Mackenzie Regional Health Services and the Fort Smith and Yellowknife Social Services department representatives. One of the drawbacks in this particular area, Mr. Chairman, is not having a Mackenzie Regional Health Board in place at the present time. There have been meetings with the Dogrib Nation and Deh Cho people with regard to forming a board. I am not sure what the status of that is at the present time. But obviously the department would like to involve those people. I would stress, for the record, that this is an interim steering committee and, hopefully, we will get down to the community level for that representation. I would stress also that there is no way that we are going to be able to complete this regional health planning without the participation of those communities and the people in them. So it is an interim steering committee and we will expand it as they recommend to us how to involve other areas of the communities. Thank you.
