Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, it's good to see this bill come forward. It's been some time here in the Northwest Territories that we've had difficulty in fulfilling the obligations to ensure that health care is available to all those residents in the Northwest Territories. Making some of these changes will ensure that residents will have practitioners available to them, especially in the smaller communities, and help deal with our situation when it comes to doctors. Hopefully in the future, it will lower some of the cost that we end up fielding as a result of our remote communities and isolated situations. I think this was a good bill to come forward on and we hope that as we pass this bill, that implementation will be done in a way that is open and transparent to everybody and we can all move forward on an even scale. Thank you.
