Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question today is for the Minister of Health and Social Services. I'd like to ask him about the status of the intensive care unit at Stanton. We've had very few reports from the department, either to committee or to the Members as a whole on this side of the House about the status of the ICU. We are getting dribs and drabs out to the media, but I am wondering if he could sort of officially let us know where things stand? Thank you.

Thank you. I'm wondering if the Minister could also provide me with some information on a number of -- I think it will end up being almost a year if I remember now that the ICU has been closed -- I'm interested in the number of NWT patients who've had to be diverted South due to the closure, and I'm wondering if we could put a price tag on the figure for medevacs and that kind of thing. Could he provide us with that sort of information? Thank you.
