Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have been discussing this with my colleague, the Minister of Health. We do have a Social Envelope Ministers Committee that discusses these issues frequently. I have talked about this and we have seen over the years here, especially recently, that it has been difficult in his community of Wrigley to get a permanent nurse in the community. One of the concerns was about the lack of a permanent policing presence. We are trying to work on that. We recognize there are linkages here. We can't afford to be a stovepipe. So we are collaborating. I am trying to coordinate our efforts. It is important for us to get both police and nurses on the ground in the small communities and we recognize the concern, problem in Wrigley. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
