Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I guess first of all I would disagree that I do not think it is a haphazard response about this important service. We do recognize there is a need there. The honourable Member for Hay River also brought up this issue about the need of a speech pathologist for Hay River to service her residents. I agreed when she brought up the issue that I would review what service area and what type of programs that the five speech pathologists based in the Stanton Regional Board have in respect to how often they service the communities and what regions and communities they do service, At that time I can make a decision on what may be a suitable way to try to address some of the needs in the other areas if it is deemed that maybe they are not getting the service that they should be or if the fact remains that the pathologist on staff are maybe overworked and the need to try to assist them in beefing up some of the service to the other areas that may not be as well represented as Yellowknife, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
