Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Minister made a comment that there are no specialized areas in the North to deal with that. Have we considered looking at developing those specialized programs and having them delivered in the Northwest Territories? I think that in most cases you talk about psychologists and psychiatrists and these other professions. I think if we have the ability to deliver those programs in the North we should do so.
That for me is important. We have seen closures in our health centres, closures of different wards, because of not having the professional people in the North. I think that as a government, before we start looking at sending people to southern institutions that we see exactly what we are doing to, if anything, bring in people who are in southern institutions back to the North.
I would like to ask the Minister, have you looked at the cost implications or the ability to implement these programs in the Northwest Territories?
