Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there has been quite a bit of work done on this so far. We are waiting for the final study or strategy to be put forth. I believe it will be ready within the next week or so. With that, I know the Minister says that this may not be a priority of this government, but I think it is essential that we do adhere to what the doctors are telling us, if they feel there is a very serious possibility of avoiding stomach cancer in our communities by treating it, if we find it early enough and through this study they are hoping to detect that. Because it is a priority of the community of Aklavik, the Inuvik Regional Health Board has supported it. We have a doctor who is going to be overseeing it. It is very important and I, for one, feel that it is this government that has to take a leadership role and ensure that this study is carried out. So will the Minister and her department take that role?
