Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In regard to the whole question about developing a government-wide business plan that this government has been working on; in regard to the whole endeavour of making sure we do have a government to carry out the needs and endeavours of people of the north and also as Members of the House, in regard to asking questions and tabling petitions in this House in regard to items, such as the whole question about mammogram testing which we are looking at a cost of almost $60,000 to assist the people of the Northwest Territories, not just any particular riding or particular hospital, but to assist all people in the Northwest Territories; why is it that it seems like such a tough item to put forth? Yet, we are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on consultants in regard to studies. I would like to ask the Minister, why common sense is not used in regard to the well-being of the residents of the Northwest Territories and put a face on the whole matter of health care to assist all people in the Northwest Territories? Why is it such a difficult matter to assist in such a small measly financial item?
