Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is also to the Minister of Health and Social Services. It is concerning eye care in the NWT. Mr. Speaker, in my statement earlier, I forgot to mention that the only place to get your eyes checked in the north is Yellowknife. So, in other words we are servicing all NWT residents through our ophthalmology department here. I know the Minister does not wear glasses himself, so he has not had to go through this hair raising experience of getting a wrong diagnosis. I would like to ask the Minister if he could check into why there are so many people having wrong prescriptions, and if he could report back to this House. Thank you.
