Thank you, Mr. Speaker. You did that yesterday too. Mr. Speaker, I don't have a full grasp on what is required to recruit doctors. But I think it's a fairly specialized -- a fairly specialized skill. NTH SSA has capacity to do it. They have contacts. They, as I mentioned, go to the career fairs and so on. So I guess my question about Hay River taking over the recruitment of doctors is whether Hay River Health and Social Services Authority has the capacity to do that. Do they have staff who are skilled and available. And my other question would be whether the economies of scale would work. So for the physician complement for Yellowknife -- or pardon me -- for the NWT as a whole, if I remember correctly, is around about 70. So, you know, we've got this one unit dedicated to doing that work. So it wouldn't work as well if we had people working on seven contracts at a time. It's a question that's worth answering. And Hay River health and social services, as the Member mentioned, has a Memorandum of Understanding with NTH SSA, and so there is an opportunity to discuss that when the MOU is renewed. Thank you.
