Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the area we're looking at here and the work that's required, as Minister Miltenberger stated, comes into the area where 11 projects were looked at for a one-time fund. This was one of them. I understand where the Member comes from about the concern about delivery of health care services and competing projects and getting, I guess making the cut as to whether it proceeds or not. This area here, just to be clear so individuals out there don't feel like we're creating a two-tier system, this does not create a different level of service. Anybody needing the requirement for primary care or health care, you know, to the best of our ability are getting it out there in every community. But, yes, there's still a difference in that level of service when you're into the smallest communities that we have versus the larger communities where you have. For example, here in Yellowknife the territorial hospital versus a health centre in the smaller communities. So the level of service is different, but an individual going to one...Our goal is to ensure that they get the same level of service and care if indeed the medical system to come to their aid. Thank you.
