Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we plan cautiously when it comes to moving into these facilities. The building is going to be built. It is going to be completed by the proponent. We have to go in and test all the equipment, all the medical equipment, and make sure every line that provides or supplies oxygen or other medical gases works appropriately, make sure that every line is checked, every system is verified, and we need to make sure that we give ourselves the appropriate time to make sure that the building is meeting the technical and medical and clinical specifications and requirements. This is, I wouldn't suggest, abnormal; moving into Hay River as an example took a large number of months to make sure that everything was safe and functioning, and the same is going to be true for Norman Wells. We need time to get in and do the verification before we start moving staff and, more importantly, patients into those facilities.
