Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do support having this legislative amendment passed; however, I wish that the legislation committee had also, at the same time, stressed the fact that the present legislation deals in zones from when responsibility was transferred from the federal government to the territorial government. Some of the wording should have been cleaned up at the same time to refer to regions rather than zones, since we do have regional health boards. As well, the representation of the board members should have been looked into. However, this is more urgent and I just wanted to say for the record that the legislation, itself, needs further cleaning up. I hope that the department will look into that. I will support the bill, but I just wanted to indicate to this House, on the record, the two areas in the legislation that could be improved. Thank you.
