Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to thank the Minister for that answer, but I would encourage the Minister to try to get a cost on that. I am told it's somewhere in the neighourhood of $4,000 for a mother to have to come to Yellowknife to give birth. Mr. Speaker, the Minister stated that there is $8.3 million currently assigned for 10 general practitioners. I assume this is extraordinary funding. Would the Minister please provide this House with a breakdown of how these 10 doctors will be distributed in terms of what communities these doctors will be serving in. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
