Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Late last year the Edmonton Journal ran an article regarding infant mortality rates across Canada. Figures for the NWT were double that of the national average. My question is to the Minister of Health, Mr. Ng. Is he aware of the rates for infant mortality in the Northwest Territories? If, in fact, the rates as quoted by the Edmonton Journal of 12 percent or 6.3 percent higher than the national average, which would be 12.9 are accurate? Is the Minister aware of these figures?
