I guess that’s my point, is that if you are building up the health care infrastructure in communities like Fort Smith and Hay River, we had better have the horsepower or the manpower to back up the programs and services that residents in those communities are going to be deserving. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to spend $28 million on a facility that you can’t staff and you can’t have programs in. That’s my fear. If the Minister’s confident that spending this money on the facility in Fort Smith is the right thing to do, to me it’s still, I’m not 100 percent sold on this. They’re too close to each other and I don’t understand how they could both serve as Level C communities within an hour and a half by highway. That’s something I’d like the Minister to respond to, whether she’s confident that those two communities we’re going to be able to get staff in there that are going to have programs and take the pressure off Stanton here in Yellowknife.
