Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, there are a number of factors that were discussed over the last few days. Very clearly, the government, as I stated in this House, has a position and a policy on decentralization and looking at trying to move things out of Yellowknife that is equitable, fair and spreads some of the government resources around. This program can be provided outside of Yellowknife. There is a community, Hay River, that has that capacity. The program is just going to be moved. It's not being dismantled. It's not being structurally changed. The contractor has indicated that they are very willing to work with us to provide that service. We've taken the steps to ensure that this will be done in a careful, measured way and we are going to follow through on that. Thank you.
