Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If I could make my comments specific to Hay River, the honourable Member for Hay River South raised the issue as well in the House yesterday, at which time I committed and we've already started the process of talking to the deputy about looking at the turnover rates to see if there are any trends. We will work with the board and the authority there. Very clearly, on the compensation and benefits level, our compensation and pay for doctors puts us at the top right now. We compensate our health practitioners, especially the doctors very, very well. We are just in the process of hopefully concluding a new agreement which will build on that. In my mind, the issues of recruitment are not necessarily monetary ones. I have committed to work with the board and the staff there to take a look at what's happening and take whatever steps we deem necessary to work with Hay River to deal with those issues. Thank you.
