Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, with respect to the disease spreading, from what I understand, the local community has been advised by local radio about being cautious and not having large gatherings and keeping personal hygiene habits of cleanliness. As far as controlling the spread, we can't control the flow of people but we can monitor to make sure the situation is under control. I know that the medical health officer has been in direct contact with health board officials who are responsible for delivering health services in our region. The health board has sent in an additional nurse practitioner to assist the local Pelly Bay staff in dealing with the increased workload and provide general support.

So we are carefully monitoring the situation, Mr. Speaker. We will be willing to provide any additional support, if it is required.
