Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as quite evident today with the Department of Health, health and social issues in the Northwest Territories are very important. I wish I could stand here and say I do not have any concerns in the health and social services end of it, but unfortunately, I do have some concerns.

Hay River has been without a permanent doctor for about a year now. I know the budget that was delivered yesterday addressed health and social services and health care and extra money being put into it. I would like to read from a line in the budget that says: "We will invest $2.8 million to improve the primary care model by stabilizing the physicians workforce in Yellowknife."

From what I understand, Yellowknife has approximately 20 doctors out of 24. Hay River has no permanent doctors right now. I was wondering why Yellowknife would be addressed in the budget and not Hay River? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
