Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate the re-jigging the Minister has to do on an annual basis. Looking at the situation in the Sahtu, I think that the Sahtu is large enough and needs to be seriously considered as almost a stand-alone region. We've always been under the arm of the Inuvik region and the Inuvik region is a big region. It's almost 14 communities and sometimes we don't feel in the Sahtu that we receive the quality of service that we deserve. That's why we ask in the Sahtu that we have a stand-alone region. The creation of the Sahtu health board is one step to that process.

With the priority and the level of the Financial Management Board, this government needs to consider having an office in the Sahtu to work with us. That's a comment to the Minister and his staff in light of what may happen in the next few years or further down the road, we would like to have a region and like to not be governed or taken care of in the Inuvik region which is in Inuvik. I think that's something I am going to keep questioning this government on and this Minister and ask if he would give that some consideration down the road. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
