Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there are vacancies in a lot of our specialty areas, and there's work ongoing. There is many ways that the department is reaching out, working with southern practitioners to be able to come to the Northwest Territories. There are a lot of challenges, like we said, all over Canada and, you know, when we think of all of the different areas where we are not having specialists come here, the bottom line is that part is -- you know, even though we know that it is hard for the patients to have to travel, you know, and -- you know, but if the service is -- if we can't get the service here then we're not -- we're not preventing them from accessing those services. But the work is ongoing, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
