Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, again, this is one of the things that's in our business plan. I know it -- you know, I've had asked questions because the timeline is long. We started rolling out the EMR before, way back when I was still practising. And we finally just got it into the last community in the Northwest Territories. So now that we have to replace the -- it is a multi -- I guess to explain it, there's multiple systems. And so I think what the Member's referring to is like right now, what we want to do is looking into -- when we designed the system, I think the goal is -- you know, we've heard many times that our system doesn't speak to other systems. There's things in our system that it doesn't do because it's old. And so it's taking an account of all of the things. You know, we'll be working with our -- like, the frontline staff, like, as the needs, the doctors, what their needs are, what we need to transfer -- you know, if there's a possibility that we can access, you know, blood work. You know, we've heard all of those kinds of things that when we're going into Alberta as one of our service providers. So it is a huge task. It will be a large -- you know, there will be a large cost to that. So the RFP will go out in September for phase one, and we're hoping that we'll be able to begin that process. Thank you.
