Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it is not totally contrary to tradition. It would be a change. It would be something different that has not been done in the past. I do not believe it would be contrary to tradition. However. Mr. Speaker, as I indicated, we did have a number of good names come forward for the chairmanship. It was a difficult choice.
We chose Mr. Elkin. We have felt, on an ongoing basis, it would be good to have a chairman from Yellowknife and a vice-chair from one of the communities and one of the regions. Mr. Elkin brings over 30 years experience to the chairmanship's job. It was also felt that for the sake of future continuity, to have someone working very closely with him that was not an elected member from one of the community health boards or chair of one of the community health boards, might help in transferring some of the expertise and experience of Mr. Elkin to a vice-chair at some point in the future, who may wish to take on that role of chairmanship. Mr. Elkin is also retired and does like to, as I am sure, as any retired person, travel when he can. It is a very big job. It is a very huge budget, it is $40 million. It is a thought that has been floated with the board and it will be up to them as to whether they decide to amend their by-laws accordingly. Thank you.
