Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to point out that we are working on this with Infoway, which is a national body. There is a national interest in every jurisdiction, plus the federal government, to move ahead on electronic patient records and health records. We've made the offer to Infoway, which we think will be accepted, to use the whole of the Northwest Territories as a pilot project where we can demonstrate a system that works not only in urban settings, but in remote settings. We have the distance, we have the geography, all the challenges that the larger jurisdictions have. No jurisdiction has been able to move this system outside of a facility. So we are working to move it across the Northwest Territories. The pilot at Great Slave is very important. If it tests out, then Infoway is partnering with us. We want to move this as quickly as possible. We would be a demonstration project basically for the rest of the country. Thank you.
