Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, we have recently been provided with information that show that the cost of hiring these doctors for the Keewatin, whatever arrangements are being made as the Minister has indicated. It is going to be much higher than what the original costs that were laid out and that were paid to other doctors in the past. I asked the Minister last week a question regarding the cost benefit analysis that was asked for regarding the Baffin situation and the proposed changes and moves in their medical services. The Minister indicated that it was not necessary to have this cost benefit analysis done in the Keewatin. Given the fact that information has come forward that these costs are somewhat higher, does he still think it is not necessary to conduct the cost benefit analysis to see whether or not the changes that are proposed, if they are cost effective?
