Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I said earlier and I guess I'll say it again, if the individual is out for medical treatment and were to become deceased at that time, then it would be the responsibility of our government to bring that person back. If that person was out there as a band member who didn't reside in the Northwest Territories who happened to be deceased, having chosen to live down south, then I don't feel that it would be an obligation of our government to bring that person back no matter where they originated from or what band they belonged to, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
