Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Member is correct. There has been some interest indicated by Dr. Morris here in Yellowknife to do some research work in Aklavik with respect to this bacteria which is believed to contribute to duodenal ulcers in patients and over a period of years may also be associated with stomach cancer.

At this point in time, to the best of my knowledge, they are still at this stage of exploring the feasibility of such a study. There have been some consultations done with the Inuvik Regional Health and Social Services Board and also with our chief medical health officer. At this time though, the research proposal is not fully developed and we are attempting, with the proponent of this study, to identify potential sources of funding. Thank you.
