Thank you, Madam Chair. The telehealth again, it's worthwhile. I'd like to see it more in the...I'm hoping that we can see it in the smaller communities. Like, Deline has the telehealth services. You have it in Yellowknife here, I don't know for what reasons. You have it in Smith and Hay River, Inuvik, and Stanton again in Yellowknife here. Again the Sahtu is not listed in here. It's probably one of the, besides the riding of Nunakput, that needs to make more sense to have telehealth in those areas where it's harder to get these services. So I'm quite disappointed that our region has been left out of this in terms of the telehealth services. Again, you're going to have it in larger centres and other places where they have fairly decent health services. Now, it just doesn't make sense to me how this telehealth service is being laid out. I want to ask the Minister if he would consider...They have the system already set up in Deline. Why is it just going to sit there and gather dust? Why don't they improve on that system in their communities where they can put new locations and spending more money to implement it? Thank you.
