Thank you, Madam Chair. Just three questions in terms of delivery. In light of the government's fiscal constraint about delivering health services and social services programs into our small regions and small communities, in light of the heavy activity in the Sahtu region last winter and this winter in terms of oil and gas exploration, it has been brought up to me by one of our community members that the oil companies have paramedics. One of the members thought it would be a good idea if the medics could look at doing some training in our communities, and even assisting our communities in terms of helping out the nurses. But I'm not too sure how that would work, because it was an idea that one of the members of the community thought it would be good to have the medics come in, possibly do some small training with our people to help out with our nurses, and over the long term maybe some of our community members might want to be medics and may have an opportunity go into that field. I'm not sure how familiar the Minister is with this, or if this is a new thing. I would like to hear his comments in terms of what he thinks of the idea of having medics possibly work with our communities in terms of delivering health care. Thank you.
