Mr. Speaker, just to be clear, residents of the Northwest Territories when they travel to other jurisdictions like BC and they go to a hospital or health centre for medically necessary care through reciprocal billing agreements and whatnot, those services are provided to those residents and there's no cost obviously to our residents for doing that.

Where we have a challenge with BC is where a health practitioner in the Northwest Territories makes a referral on behalf of one of our residents to something like an MRI or a specialty clinic that's available in Edmonton or Calgary or in Alberta for specialty services that are not provided in the Northwest Territories.

In those situations, we have to have solid agreements with those jurisdictions. It's not a matter of just showing up and just saying, hey, I want an MRI. You actually have to have a referral; it has to go through a proper protocol. We are finalizing and updating our agreement with Alberta. We hope to be done this year. Once that's done, I will certainly raise the issue with BC and follow up accordingly.
