Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The other week through the committee, we had a very interesting hour or so with a group of students who enrolled in the nursing program here in the Northwest Territories and we got some very interesting perspectives about the job and the profession and the system that we have, and hopefully they will be going to work with.

One aspect that we asked them about and got a really strong endorsement of was telehealth. In fact, it was surprising to me how strongly and how vividly they endorsed this tool as something that would really make a difference. As we are focusing on the delivery of reliable quality health services, especially in the smaller communities, it would seem that accelerating the installation of telehealth as a diagnostic tool, and a good one, is an opportunity that we are missing as far as getting better health care services out to the communities in an economical way.

I wanted to see if the Minister could offer some information about when we will be able to see an actual expansion of that program. We know the $200,000 is in the budget this year for an enhancement under the Telehealth Program. I do not know exactly what that means. Maybe we can get some information about that as well.

It is really the expansion into more communities of telehealth that I would like to see if we can find a bit more about. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
