Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That was my next question anyway. I think the question I was going to follow up with was does the nurse-in-charge rely on calling the physicians in Inuvik in cases like this where something important needs to be attended to? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a motion to make. Mr. Chairman, I move that this committee recommends that the Department of Health and Social Services develop an action plan to deal with the increase of incidences of sexually-transmitted diseases, tuberculosis, diabetes and obesity. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a very short comment. During the deliberations of this section during the committee review, we were given a presentation from the chief medical officer that showed quite an alarming trend in incidences of various sexually-transmitted diseases and something like tuberculosis, that really we should have a very good handle on. If the Members look at page 6-26, we are looking at quite a substantial reduction in the health promotion budget. In 2002-2003 to the year 2003-2004, there was at least about a $1 million increase, and now this year we are going back than where we were in the year 2002-2003. So we believe that while the Minister has indicated that this is an important area and it has been mentioned in the opening statement, it is not being expressed to the same degree in dollar amounts. So we felt that it was very important that we expressed our collective view that this is not an area that we could fall behind in. So that is the impetus behind this motion. I would like to ask for committee's support for the motion. Thank you.
