Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I fully understand that health and social services is a territorial issue. The reason why the Keewatin action plan was spoken on, of course, is because there are some specific issues ongoing in the Keewatin right now that needed to be addressed to reassure the public and restore confidence and stability in the Keewatin health care system. That is the reason for the specific Keewatin statement. Also, part of that statement, Mr. Speaker, as you may recall is the mention of a physician, health care professional, nursing, social worker recruitment retention plan that I made a commitment to try to table into this House before the end of February, before we rise. That issue is a territorial issue, Mr. Speaker. With respect to that issue, it is not just specific to the Keewatin. It encompasses all boards throughout the Northwest Territories and the personnel that is required to deliver the health and social services for our residents, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
