Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I understand we need to have front-line care in the communities and also the argument is that because a lot of our cancer care and even surgeries are done with Edmonton Capital Health Authority that we are addressing it that way. But you could switch that. The reason we are relying on them is because we have been without a second surgeon for a long time. We are having a hard time recruiting that. We have a waiting list on surgeries for hips and joints. We haven't had a full staff diagnostic imaging in a long time. So I think it is important for the government to work on all fronts. I would like to give the Minister an opportunity to explain how we are addressing those areas, surgeries and diagnostic imaging here and shortage of staff here, and therefore creating wait times. Thank you.
