Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think -- I just want to clear up the word "antidote." There isn't an antidote for rabies. But there is a vaccine, and it's available in each health centre or hospital pharmacy and emergency room in the NWT. And anyone who might potentially have contact with wild animals, for example, again, hunters and trappers, can go to their health care provider and ask to have this preexposure vaccination before they go out on the land. So that is an option that people who are working far away from health centres might want to consider. And even if they do end up having contact with a rabid animal, they will be protected, but they should still report the incident to their health care provider because that is something that we track, and we warn the public about. Thank you.
