Mr. Speaker, I am aware of the outbreak of tuberculosis. I am also aware that when the situation arose, a number of people were transported out of the community for more treatment to other locations. As well, there was some extra help moved into Cape Dorset to try to see what had happened, to try to determine why the outbreak occurred. I have not received the results of those determinations but as soon as they have been written up, I will be pleased to provide that information to the Member. We worked with the health board to see that there would be follow-up and to look at some of the areas where we might make improvements as well. So, Mr. Speaker, once the report is done I will make that available to the Member. Thank you.
