Sachs Harbour has a nurse-in-charge there. Even though Sachs Harbour is small, because it’s so remote they have a permanent nursing staff there. With respect to Wrigley, a nurse has been visiting that community and during the freeze-up and break-up there will be a nurse there. Tsiigehtchic, that is the same situation. I have to advise the House that all of the authorities, all of the communities are under a very close surveillance of what is going on in communities and every authority has a plan in place to have human resources backup and staff into communities where needed. I understand, and I think the Member knows, that this government is working to enhance nursing service in both Wrigley and Tsiigehtchic and the plans are underway and it will be made more concrete and public at the will of the House. Thank you.
