Thank you for that, Mr. Murray. I'll move on now to another issue I brought up with the Minister last year when he was here and that was the issue of a palliative care unit at Stanton. Currently people live their entire lives paying dearly in terms of taxes and other things that they pay to the government throughout their whole lives. I think it's important that when it is time to go and some people get diagnosed with a terminal illness and they know that their days on this earth are numbered, I think it's very important that we have a place where people who are terminally ill can go and live their last days on this earth with as much dignity and respect as possible and I don't know if that is currently the case here in the Northwest Territories. I think if we can get some funding or we can look at channelling some funding in to make this happen, it's an initiative that this government should take on. Thank you, Madam Chairperson.
