Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my mind, and judging by the comments I have heard, the e-mails I have got, and the telephone calls that I have taken on this issue, I don't think the government is listening to the front-line health care professionals here in the Northwest Territories. It is obvious to me that there are problems, especially in the area of staffing. When management says that the front-line worker is expendable, that causes me a great deal of concern. This is happening far too often. I think we run the risk of losing a lot of our front-line staff here if we don't take some immediate action to try to address this concern. I am not sure who is going to be the next Minister responsible for Health, but in the meantime, the Minister responsible today, I would like to ask him if he would entertain getting together some Regular Members from this side of the House to actually go out and do some of the work and listen to the concerns that are out there, because I think people want somebody to listen. Management is not doing it. We are here. I will certainly make myself available to do that, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
