Mr. Speaker, there are a number of Northerners who actually pursued medicine and received some of the bursaries that we have available, but most of them are still in school. We’ve actually discontinued the bursaries because we’ve done a bit of an analysis and there wasn’t a lot of value for money. A lot of the people that we were supporting weren’t coming back to the Northwest Territories. So we’re exploring new ways to work with these students to find ways to make sure that they do come back to the Northwest Territories, and that is part of the review that we’re doing and the information that will be coming forward to the Member and committee in December. Thank you.
