Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Madam Chairperson, in the Nunavut area, as you know, the Nunavut Implementation Commission Report recommended the dissolution of health boards and establishing a ministry of health to deliver and carry out the functions of the ministry, plus the delivery of health and social services. This government did not accept that recommendation. We continued to operate in the method that we do and moving toward a ministry function having boards carry out the program service delivery at a regional level. It will be up to the new Nunavut government post 1999 to decide on what form of mechanism they would like for their health and social services system in Nunavut. We cannot make that determination at this time for them Madam Chairperson. Thank you.
