That's the number one rule. If you ask a general question, you are going to get a general answer. Sorry, I can't really get into detail on this. Let me just move to before your agreement with the NWT Medical Association with doctors and contractors. That's a four-year agreement. The GNWT is now under negotiation for the UNW contract, which includes the nurses and other health care professionals. I am not sure if the Minister responsible for the FMBS can answer this, but earlier today in answering questions about the lack of family doctors for some people who cannot get a family doctor, the Minister of Health and Social Services provided to this House answers pertaining to the possibilities of looking at some options such as a walk-in clinic, reprofiling emergency clinics or consolidating different medical clinics to provide a better service. I am thinking anything like that should be part of the discussion before you go into negotiations. I don't even know how to ask this. I am sure the Minister is not going to give me information on the negotiations. Let me ask anyway. Would this be part of the discussions about what the government is planning on doing in terms of delivering health care services and some of the changes that the government wants to make? Do you talk to the health care providers about those things, or are those negotiations strictly on compensation and benefits?
