Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, health boards do have the authority to decide whether or not to charge a fee for people outside of the chronically ill and the elderly. The Hay River Community Health Board did make a decision to charge people this year because the board did not budget for providing flu shots free to all people. So it is my understanding that the board will be considering offering free flu shots to everyone next year. Thank you.
