Thank you, Madam Chair. General comments for the Minister and his officials. The Minister and myself along with his officials did a tour of the Sahtu region in the early part of my election to the Legislative Assembly, and there were lots of concerns that the Sahtu communities have expressed to the Minister. The high priority of health services in the Sahtu region is something that is in dire straits, I guess I could say, in terms of how we look at our health system here in the Sahtu region. The majority of the people in the Sahtu region are aboriginal people and we want to look at how best to integrate the aboriginal methods of health in combination with the existing system right now. I am glad to see that the Minister has an integrated model of services that he is going to use as a blueprint for health and social services in the Northwest Territories. I want to ask the Minister a question in regard to that integrated service model. Can you just elaborate on this in terms of how it is going to benefit the people in the Sahtu region?
