Thank you.
Thank you, Minister, for being here.
I just have one question. The territorial health system sustainability initiative announced in 2004 for $150 million was for five years, and as you know the northern premiers were lobbying for it to be reinstated. As you were in the Nunavut government, I'm sure you would like it reinstated for the five years. Obviously, things like medevac from the north are going to go on forever.
My question is why was it only reinstated for two years? Will the minister commit to reinstating it for the full five years, particularly because the minister comes from Nunavut? It's very important for northerners, so could she tell northerners that she's committed to continuing that program permanently, or at least for the five years that the people were asking for?
