Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, when we have surge capacity, these are unpredictable time -- like, when they happen. So normally we would just use the staff on hand, overtime, and other contract nurses if we can from the department. Like, we would just move people around. And so that's within this public health reform that -- you know, the nurses that are working in public health, the one thing that we only have is we only have nurses that work in public health here in Yellowknife and I believe in Fort Smith, in Hay River, and in Inuvik, and the duties of public health are -- we rely on CHNs, community health nurses, in those other communities that are health centres to do those duties on top of all of their other duties. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
