Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this has come up many times in the House, and NTHSSA's policy was put in place to protect the health and safety of all staff. Under the Northwest Territories Safety Act, the employer is required to take all responsible measures to ensure the health and safety of their employees. And nurses in the health centre may do home care and home care assessments during the day that are scheduled, but they are not first responders, Mr. Speaker. They're not the ones that run out to the emergencies. They are trained to do services within their health centre with the tools that they have. So unfortunately what we see in the smaller communities, and my colleague and I from MACA who is responsible for first responders, we have had our first initial discussion on what -- you know, what can we do and what can we do to work together to look at some options for communities that don't have services like that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
