Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I would like to readdress my questions to the Minister of Health and Social Services with regard to the proposed transfer. Madam Speaker, I must say I'm not impressed with the Minister somehow implying that the debate here is about Yellowknife versus Hay River and that any time we are questioning anything about this move that somehow...I don't think the competition is that. Madam Speaker, I believe that the Cabinet, every Member of government sitting across from us, has a duty to the children if they don't have a duty to the Members here or the employees who are working there or even the interested public. I like to know that I have enough information that shows me that the Cabinet Ministers have looked at all the necessary information, or at least adequate levels of information, when they made this decision; that they did not do it as a political move, as if these youth are empty vessels of chess pieces sitting on a board. They have lives with needs and those should have been looked at. So I'd like to know what exact information does he have about what these students' special needs are. What information can he give us? What information did he base his decision on? He hasn't given us any of that. Thank you.
