Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Member is correct that chiropractic isn't currently recognized under any legislation in the Northwest Territories. I am aware of certain chiropractors that are pursuing with the department, having their services covered to be eligible to be paid under our health care services. At this stage, Mr. Speaker, I'm aware of it as well as some possible legislated changes required to allow for midwifery, to allow for traditional aboriginal healing practices, and possibly things such as physio-therapy. I am willing to take a look at chiropractic services over the course of the coming year to see whether or not we can include them as insured services, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
