Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I asked that question to see if the Minister could move away from almost reacting to individuals once they're sick, but actually do something in the area of prevention. I'm not asking the Minister to give me a presentation of every person's ailments across the Northwest Territories; I'm asking the Minister to look at the hospitals. I don't care if he takes a two-month example and extrapolates the numbers from there. I have no reason to say that every person has to have a head count either. I'm saying there should be some work done in that area. I'm asking the Minister if he would stand up, do the work in that area and try to lessen the costs to the health system. That's what I'm here to try to do, try to lessen the costs to the health system. The Minister says no, I can't do it, it's too much work. That's ridiculous. Asking--
