Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, at this time, there are no plans to put a full-time nurse into the community of Tsiigehtchic. We do get the public health nurse into the community for one day a week. We have physicians travelling to the community every four or five months. The community has access to services provided in other communities in cases of emergencies, including Fort McPherson and Inuvik. They have supports through the Med-Response team that can support the community health worker in the community in times of crisis. Most importantly, we are working on that pilot that we have referenced several times, to provide emergency response and emergency care in the community of Tsiigehtchic. We have been working very closely with the community. I understand that we are just finalizing phase 2 and that there will be training in the community on the 25th of February, to train local people to provide some of that emergency response in the times of crisis.
