Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I, as Minister responsible for the Department of Health and Social Services, am not and will not be doing work or directing the staff to be working in any way which would reduce services to the regions. In fact, we will continue to see what we can do to improve services in the region. The step that has been taken has just been a recent and interim measure as a result of concerns raised with, as I said earlier, one of our facilities and its possible re-profiling which remains or leaves us, in this territory, with one facility. But we will be looking at how we provide services to residents in regions and communities, and that will also be looked at part of the Minister's Forum that will be going out this spring. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
