Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have over the last few years put nursing programs in place, we have social work programs, we are now doing registered care aid programs, we are going to put back into effect the community health representative programs, we are supporting students in post-secondary situations in medical school. So we have initiatives on a whole number of fronts in terms of trying to develop a northern workforce in these very specialized areas. So we still struggle with some of the psychiatric specialties, and those types of very advanced services, but we are committed if you look across the North to the personal care units we've built, the tertiary level facilities, second layer level facilities we've built to deal with elders and those with other needs. So we are going to continue that commitment. We are going to review the current southern placement list, and we are going to see what is possible in terms of short-term repatriation, as well as look at the longer term, as I have indicated. Thank you.
