Right now it is in a state of flux in that we have an MOU that we have been working on through the health care association, but the intent, obviously Madam Chair, depending on what standards we are dealing with because as we all know, some pretty extensive programs that we are asking the boards to carry out. Obviously, we would want to make sure if things were going out of line, that we would try to make corrections and assist the boards to do that by pointing out where there may be some variances in what we would expect and work with them to try to work through that. In a worse case scenario, if you have incompetency or just boards that are unwilling to conform to standards, of course we would have to take appropriate action in whatever may be necessary to ensure that the safety and the service of the public is not at risk. That could mean as much as dissolving boards or putting in public administrators or firing CEOs and any type of option to make sure that people in the Northwest Territories are not put at risk as a result of boards not conforming or unwilling to conform to standards. Again, depending on the nature of what the variance may be. Thank you.
