Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just with respect to getting back to the issue of seniors visiting health care centres here in the NWT and the issue of receiving the proper treatment for your ailments that you're trying to explain to the doctor and you're having a hard time with the interpreter, some of these staff people that are providing this service and may be even receiving compensation, I'm not sure but I'll provide that in a written question, but I want to ask the Minister what sort of training, even if there is any available, that these people can access in order to ensure the patients and get confidence in the physician that they are interpreting the right form or fashion? There's always the understanding that, yes, they will understand what they're talking about, but then translating it, getting the methodology correct is a really crucial interpretative service, Mr. Speaker. I want to ask the Minister what kind of training does the department provide to ensure that the correct methodology is being used by these interpreters? Thank you.
