Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, Mr. Bell indicated that in Nunavut, for example, they don't have any specialists on staff; in the Yukon they have three-and-a-half full-time specialists, the rest fly in on a fee-for-service basis. We have 21 specialist positions. On a relative basis, just among the Territories alone, I think that is a very healthy complement of specialists. Staffing is an issue. So we are going to work, if there is a resignation that takes place July 1st, we believe we have a locum coverage on a contingency basis, and we also have the back-up plans should that not be available to get them within hours to the Capital Health Authority, which will, we believe, address the responsibility we have to maintain a high level of service to the people of the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
