Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the fact that in many procedures, not just in the Northwest Territories but all of Canada, we, as providers of health care service, would cover for surgical procedures, hospital bed time. In many cases when patients are released back to their communities or homes, they have to pick up their own tab on drugs and so on as a result of some of the procedures, so this is not a unique case. It would take for adding this one case to the list, we'd have to do a review to see if it's one thing or another; or, if we're going to add to this list, what's the priority. We have a growing cost already that we're having a hard time keeping in check and we add another procedure to it. That's some of the stuff we have to weigh as we look at this. Thank you.
