Thank you, Madam Chair. I'd like to thank the Minister and staff for being here with us this afternoon. In terms of general comments, I will try to keep them fairly general. I know the issue of health care and the provision of health services in the Northwest Territories is an issue that is brought to the floor of this House almost daily when we are in session, and I think the importance can't be underestimated. I know we are going to be spending a substantial amount of dollars, millions of dollars at Stanton in terms of renovations. We're looking at a consolidated clinic here in Yellowknife. Earlier today I again brought up the dementia care facility, which I think, as the Minister heard me mention earlier, is a much, much needed piece of infrastructure in our health system that is long overdue and urgently required.

Back in October, a lot of the issues in health, for myself, came from staffing in those areas. The concerns were in the areas of morale, working conditions, staffing levels. I guess I'll just start off with asking the Minister, from October, and I know he's still relatively new in the role as the Minister of Health and Social Services, what has he done since October to try to address the concerns that staff had brought forward late last year? Mahsi.
