Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I can assure the Minister from the reports that I see from my community and also other Keewatin communities that there is a great deal of concern and dissatisfaction with the system we have in place to date. Back to my question regarding the cost benefit analysis, it is my understanding that as a result of not having these doctors in the communities, large numbers of patients and residents have to be flown elsewhere to see doctors. That in itself would tell me that the cost factor has increased. As a result, I would ask the Minister again if he would conduct a cost benefit analysis of the proposed changes for the Keewatin regarding their delivery of health services. Thank you.
