Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, in the Northwest Territories Health Status Report, there is quite a bit of information about the different types of cancer that do occur. It has not been the practice of the department to give this information out by region because of the protection of privacy due to the small numbers in the communities. It has not been the practice of the department to give information out by community. If there was a specific community the Member is interested in, but just to put out a wholesale report of every community and the incidents of cancer, I think that would be difficult.

This document is actually quite comprehensive in terms of the various types of cancer. I might refer the Member to it. As well, we could give Northwest Territories up-to-date stats for different types of cancer under the cancer registry program that is within the department.
