Thank you, Madam Chair. No. Thank you, Minister, and thank you, Madam Premier, in regards to that. In the communities that I represent, we have apartments on top of our health centres. There are four apartments per health centre, and we are blessed for that for sure because you don't have to wait too long. You have just got to walk down the stairs. I am really very thankful for the staff that we have there, but they are just overworked. There has got to be a way that we could try to help them, to get more staff to help alleviate the pressure. They don't have to stay for long, a couple of weeks, maybe, or a month or something, just to get the job done, to make sure that they are seeing the constituents. Some of them are fighting cancer. There are so many different aspects and different stages of it, and we are trying. I talked to you before about getting a task force, like something to go into the communities to do pre-checks on constituents, especially further north, because, like I said, the flights to get out of the community into Inuvik to see a doctor on their own, it is just they can't do it. That is more of a comment, Madam Chair. Thank you.
