Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the area of coverage for the equipment needed once a diagnosis has been confirmed and direction has been taken, again, the process starts and we have testing. It can be done in Inuvik, Hay River and Fort Smith. If there is, again, a positive movement that this patient would need further testing, it is done here in Yellowknife and then an internal medicine specialist would review those results and make a decision. There are a number of areas that people are covered through this. First Nations or Inuit persons are covered under Health Canada's Non-Insured Health Benefits Program. The Department of Health and Social Services administers the Metis Health Benefit Program that would cover these areas and then a Specified Medical Conditions Program under the Extended Health Benefits Program will cover some costs as well as the insurance cost of employers. Thank you.
