Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it is our responsibility in working with our partners, the boards, to ensure there is a program in place, that breast screening and mammography, if it is required, for women is accessible. It is not our responsibility to make it accessible in every community. What we are trying to do is work out a plan with our partners, the boards, to see what their priorities are. How we can integrate the usage. In the case of the mammography machine here in Stanton, that is fine. We have a large portion of the population that passes through Stanton that can have access while they are here for other appointments, to the mammography machine. In the instance of those regions that do not send their patients to Stanton, if it happens to be in other jurisdictions then we can look at making the provisions available again to have mammography services available at the centre at the locations where they go for their medical treatment. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
