Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to ask more questions on the viability of a walk-in health clinic in Yellowknife. I think there are strong cases to be made that will save the government money and that would ease the pressure on doctors' services and other health care professionals. It would address the needs especially of parents with young children who need medical attention on a very short notice, who don't have time to wait on a doctor's appointment waiting list for weeks and weeks. It would lessen the burden on the emergency system. We already have an example in place that the Minister could follow. I'd like to know, if the Minister hasn't done it already, if he would look into expanding the walk-in clinic service in Yellowknife that the local doctor has already undertaken. Could he look into expanding that on a full-time basis? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
