Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the work is underway to make changes to the way we deliver primary care in Yellowknife with the goal of improving access. We've heard this from Members in the last sitting. While I will not commit to a specific walk-in clinic, I can assure the Members that we are working to improve access to the primary care in Yellowknife as well as other region as a priority as we know that we are opening up the new clinic in the Liwego'ati Building, which the downtown primary care clinic, and all of these accounts, like, when I talk about staffing workloads in the hospital, we also have to -- I want to, like, try to educate the public as well as they don't always have to go into the hospital. There is 8-1-1. That is a service that is -- so people can know if they need to go in. There's a nurse 24 hours a day that they can call 8-1-1. But they're also welcome to go in. Thank you.
