Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, very clearly the process and routing of patients and people requiring medical attention is the same. Inuvik is the point of call for people in the Inuvik region. We are adding doctors to the Sahtu, another one to Inuvik, to the Dogrib, to Deh Cho, as well to Hay River and Smith to deal with the GP issue. So we are adding, and we have added, significant resources. Filling the positions is another issue, another challenge. But the resources are there, with the new contract dollars that we signed with the GPs not that long ago, to recruit. We recognize that there is a need for GPs, that's why we've added those 10 new GPs. Thank you.
