Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I mentioned, you know, today we might be able to come up with a number and that would meet today, and then we get something else that happens and the numbers change. You know, if we are -- like, I look at our priorities in this government and working on our accessing health care doesn't just mean fixing the issues that we have at our territorial hospital and our -- you know, and in our capital. They mean fixing some of our issues in our regional centres. You know, we have our own issues in the regional centres as MLAs from those communities are fully aware. And then we hear from the small communities that are saying, can we just have a doctor come to visit us, can we have our health centre not be on emergency services. You know, these are things that we continuously hear. And so how we get there, you know, it takes all of us as a territory and we need to start looking and that's what we're doing, is we're looking to health promotion. We're looking at looking at -- you know, looking at our health centres and how we're supporting residents in those communities and so that they're accessing the health care that they need in those communities and that they're not having to be in hospital and they're not having to always travel for health care. So it is -- it's very complex and we are working on it, and it is very -- it is a priority of this government. That's why we have the health sustainability unit that is going to help to do this work as well. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
