Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I guess what I could say at this point would provide little comfort to the Member in what we're doing with the request for this funding to be spent in this area, and he raises a lot of valid points and concerns about that level of service. Many of them, which would use as well when we have to ship a lot of our patients out of the territory because we can't provide a level of service that is found in the larger centres across Canada. It's unfortunately a fact of life in a lot of places. In the smaller places you go to, the level of service isn't the same as in the larger and we're having to face, as we dealt with earlier, sending some of our children out of the territory because we don't have facilities here. It is something we wrestle with when we make these types of improvements and request the authority to spend these dollars in these areas and it's going to be an ongoing issue that governments are going to have to deal with as to what level of service they can provide for our residents. Thank you.
