Thank you, Mr. Chair, appreciate it. And so I just wanted to kind of just to wrap up my comments on the long-term care. I mean, there were some things that really stood out to me, and I dug into this one a fair bit, looked at the 2015 report, and I would just note that, you know, a few of the thing that were pointed out in the report is that if you increase the number of a service, like long-term care, it can ultimately increase the demand for the service, interestingly, and that you can induce demand. And a point that I think is really important to note too is that, you know, the Northwest Territories has people who require long-term care at a much higher rate than other places in Canada and in Canada in general. And that tells me that we are not providing regular health care or keeping people healthy, you know, outside of long-term care and before long-term care, at a level that we need to be in. So just noting that investing in long-term care is important, I don't deny that in any way, but I also want to note that we need to be focusing on providing basic health care too, keeping people healthy, keeping people so that they don't end up in long-term care facilities should be our ultimate goal. So I think when I'm kind of looking at the system and looking at whether, you know, we're right sizing it, whether we're going to be spending money on that, I want to be clear that whatever savings that we can realize, I want us to be using that to keep people healthy, to provide basic health care, you know, similar to what is being talked about in our health care sustainability unit, making sure that we're, you know, right sizing our system, making sure that we are getting adequate service into the communities, adequate service in Yellowknife too. I know I've got lots of constituents who are having a hard time accessing basic primary care. I'm one of them. So we've got lots of work to do.

So I just wanted to get those comments on the record, that long-term care is important to me. I want us to be investing in it where we need to, but we've got to be careful to right size the service because it's expensive to provide, like everything else in health, and ultimately our goal should be keeping people out of long-term care so that they can live healthy lives well into their 80s and 90s and be walking around the community and not in a long-term care facility. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
