Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have done a bit of research in other jurisdictions in the Western Arctic with regard to their doctor situation. In Inuvik, they have a population of 3,500 and currently employ 5.5 doctors. In Fort Smith, they currently employ two permanent doctors with a population of 2,500. In Yellowknife, they employ 20 doctors with a population of 18,000. Mr. Speaker, 20 doctors in Yellowknife seems to be a pretty rich situation. Is there anything the Minister can do to supply Hay River with a doctor out of Yellowknife on a part-time basis or on a rotation basis that can enable Hay River women to stay and give birth in their own community? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
