Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, at present, we've added doctors over the years. Yes, we've changed from fee-for-service to contract salaries positions. We've negotiated a Collective Agreement, but we are also adding nurse practitioners. We are looking at the structural issues that we know are negatively impacting on efficiency of services in Yellowknife. We've talked about the clinic situation, the emergency situation. There is an administrative arrangement where the doctors work for Yellowknife Health and Social Services but many of them spend a majority of their time providing a service at Stanton. We are looking at the structure of how obstetrics are delivered. So there are a number of different areas we are looking at and the process or structural issues in addition to just the fact that we have a contract with doctors and there is a target in there in terms of the number of patients per day that are to be seen. There are other factors that are there as well. Thank you.
