Thank you, Mr. Chair. There were no new programs added as a result of the creation or the development of the construction of the new hospital in Hay River. What we got is a building that meets our Canadian Standards Association standard requirements for health facilities in this country. The rooms are bigger. We've got some bariatric rooms, there is a respite room. No additional services, but as a result of the bigger layout the changes and how we have to provide services to meet the standards it did require some additional positions. The nice thing about the facility is because of the operating room that was put in there, we can have other people come down and do things like scopes and other procedures. Because we are going to be one system, there's nothing stopping some of the professionals from coming down to Yellowknife to provide a service in Hay River from time to time. There's absolutely nothing that's stops us from doing that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
