Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we all know that we have a crisis surrounding the shortage of doctors and nurses in the Northwest Territories. It is costing a lot of money to bring people in on a short term basis. We have to fly them in and out and also I understand that because of the nurses' inexperience in the communities, some of the nurses are medevacing people out when normally they would not be because they are afraid that something might happen, understandably so, that they do not want people to be harmed unnecessarily. Mr. Chairman, what I would like to know is there had been a position advertised for the director of human resources and board support for the Department of Health and Social Services, and apparently this has been cancelled. I am sure that this director of human resources and board support would have done a great job in implementing the final Hay Plan job evaluations and everything else. I would like to know why this position has been cancelled? Thank you.
