Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would just like to echo Mr. Roland's comments. It's been a long time coming. I know that for a number of years, I have been hoping to see legislation that would allow nurse practitioners to practice their profession in the Northwest Territories. So I am happy to see this here. I know I have had a number of constituents who have worked very closely with the department at getting the legislation through to the point we are looking at today. I know they are going to be extremely happy that we are moving forward with this bill as well. It's good and it's time we were getting it done. So I just wanted to say that I congratulate the Minister. I know the nurses association has told us they were quite pleased with the cooperation they received from the department and how this bill has been moved forward in full consultation with the people who will be impacted by it. I think it sets a good model for us to follow as we develop legislation in the North. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
