Thank you, Madam Chair. I believe this is where we deal with the contracts for physicians. Correct me if I'm wrong. No? Okay, I will wait for the right area for that question, sorry. Here is also where I could, I think, speak about infections and diseases. Madam Chair, I know, from having been through a lot of briefings, that the GNWT also tops the national stats on the rate of infectious diseases, including sexually-transmitted diseases. I think this section deals with all of them. I know that the department is trying to increase their activities in this area and I think that the publication that was the subject of discussion here in the House was one item of that. Could I just ask for those who have the benefit of briefings, I think it is good that we don't have as much of an increase and rapid growth in AIDS, luckily, but we do have upward mobility in all the other areas. I would like to know from the Minister what sorts of initiatives he has planned this year to address that issue. Thank you.
