Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I believe the bottom line in this whole issue is about the people and the service people need, health care services. Mr. Speaker, I am sure you are aware that a number of Yellowknife MLAs for the last few weeks have received many calls. I have received calls from patients, doctors and nurses who are feeling a great deal of pressure at the hospital and who really feel that they cannot do with anything less.

Mr. Speaker, I do not think I am interested as much in the process of what steps are taken to go through this budget review process, because I do not think this is about numbers. It is about people and services. I would like to know what safeguards the Minister is talking about to ensure that the services provided at the hospital will not be reduced in this process? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
