Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Indeed, sometime after April 1, we might have a regional pharmacist in place. That is good news. Would the department be directing the regional pharmacist when that position is in place? One of the duties is to check on the pharmacy regulations to make sure that over the counter drugs and prescription drugs are actually locked up or taken care of in a secure way? I understand the pharmaceutical storage of drugs in the Northwest Territories are governed by the Federal Drug Act. I believe that was what was said in questions in the House. Would that be one of the roles and if it has not been contemplated as one of the roles, would the department look at having that duty assigned to the regional pharmacist. Thank you, Madam Chairperson.
