Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you, officials, for answering that because you answered my next question, does it have continued ongoing structural issues. Now proceeding to the $500,000 referenced in what it costs to send NWT residents to southern facilities. Not being an accountant, therefore, I am now looking for the exact number when I reference this, but as I see we are spending half a million dollars to send people south to a facility. If we can reference in old dollars as a $3 million facility in Hay River, doesn't that $500,000 start to build a case about building a facility to suit the needs that we are obviously sending people for treatment in the South? Does that not warrant a pressing issue? I am not suggesting it is overstepping the need of the Wekweti nursing station, but I do want to stress, does that not stress a capital need to a problem? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
