Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The CEO of Stanton also accompanied the Social Programs committee when they went over to the Yukon, and as a result of that and discussions we've had in this House and commitments made, the staff and department have been working through the policy division at pulling together a paper that's going to identify ways that we can incorporate traditional medicine more effectively into the system we now have. By the end of next month we expect to have a paper ready that will give us a starting point for that discussion, which, of course, would be shared fully with the committee. There's been some initial discussion, as well, with elders and some other northerners trying to get their feedback as we pull together this paper. We're looking at other jurisdictions, not only the Yukon, but other jurisdictions as well. It's an issue that we're committed to following through on and we will have that critical first discussion paper out here hopefully by the end of next month. Thank you.
