Thank you, Madam Chair. It was the case in that they have advised me that there was a backlog because there were some transitional difficulties in early October as a result of the termination of the northern medical unit contract that was taking place at that time. Since then, like I indicated, they have made some arrangements to continue to have accessibility at least on a telephone consultative basis with the physicians in Churchill and the backlogs at the various health centres will start to diminish in November when they have the other complements of physicians that come on stream and be able to send out some of those physicians to the communities to deal with those backlogs. Thank you, Madam Chair.
