Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's not only sleep apnea patients that can use the help of the CPAP machine. A constituent of mine suffered from a heart defect and had severe arrhythmia. One of the most significant symptoms was a marked decrease in oxygen while he slept and, Mr. Speaker, once he was tested and given oxygen while he slept he felt immediately better and the stress to his heart decreased significantly. I'd like to ask the Minister to tell me why the use of these machines and the purchase of these machines is not fully covered by the NWT health insurance. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
