Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I want to bring up something I feel really strongly about and that is the health informatics system that is being introduced all over the country and something the Minister and the department has started a pilot project on. I would like to see a day in the not-too-distant future where patients could go anywhere where they are getting health care where there will be a virtually paperless environment. If anybody goes to the Adam Dental Clinic in Yellowknife, their office has really taken on this system where all the X-rays is on their computer system, all their appointments, they have files on everybody and it's amazing how they work. I think we should hire them. They should at least be used as a model. They have a TV screen where you can see the inside of your mouth while just laying on the dentist chair. Anyhow, I don't see why we can't do that for health clinics. I know that a pilot project is being done in the Great Slave Medical Clinic. I would like to get an update from the Minister as to where this is at. Thank you.
