Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the Member and I have had a number of discussions with regard to the issue of traditional health practices in healing. A couple years ago I had the good fortune to go to Whitehorse for the first time, and while I was there I managed to take a look at the hospital in Whitehorse. They had, at that time, a separate wing that was set up for traditional medicine and healing. I would be interested, once I get a chance to sit down with committee, to talk about the interests that before we go much further along, to go over and take a look. It's one place I know that's very close. It's our northern neighbour and they have already made some investments in this area. They have recognized the value of looking at all parts of healing that are out there and medicine. We want to move on this. I would like to do it in conjunction, at this point, with the Social Programs committee. So when we have a chance to meet, I would be interested in talking about the possibility of going over and taking a look firsthand at what is being done in our neighbouring territory to see if there is some value there, which I think there is. I found it very interesting when I was there. Thank you.
