Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I realize that this is a pressing issue and I am as interested in finding a solution as anyone is. I have extended the invitation to the Social Programs Committee to meet to discuss how we might expedite and bring this particular primary care model into existence in Yellowknife.

The department has done a lot of the background work and a lot of the consultations that needed to go on. I cannot say exactly when it will come into existence. Let me say that it is a priority. I will be looking to the Standing Committee on Social Programs for their assistance in this. Thank you.
