Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions today will be for the Minister of Finance as a follow-up to my Member’s statement. Back in December 2011 our Minister of Finance along with his colleagues were dealt with the federal announcement, I guess, drastic announcement of the changes in the Health Canada transfers that were going to be occurring over the next five years. This has been a subject of great debate amongst provinces and territories, so much so that even the Premiers themselves are leveraging in in terms of their confusion as to what exactly the outlook is going to happen over the next couple of years. Now our Minister of Finance has addressed the House here and has addressed some of the Members in terms of the short order the territory’s going to be in an okay position. I guess we’re a bit concerned here, because of the nature, because of the concerns we’re seeing on a national level. My first question to the Minister is: Can the Minister reassure us on the short order that the federal transfers that we see before us are going to suit the needs of Northwest Territories residents for health?
