Thank you.
From the first nations' perspective, one of the challenges does remain at a very fundamental level, and that is in relation to connectivity. A number of communities still don't have what it takes to operate this technology. I can't speak for the provinces in terms of the pace at which they've undertaken this work.
As Mr. Girard mentioned, Manitoba started off maybe a little behind, but they focused their efforts and moved on. It is a very complicated issue when you start looking at electronic health records, electronic medical records, privacy, and data sharing. All of these issues have to be undertaken.
I'm sure all of those factors, along with many others, had a role to play in terms of the pace of the provincial uptake of this technology. One of the challenges for first nations remains jurisdiction. Of course, we do work with Canada Health Infoway to some extent. We would like to work with them more, but their primary relationship is with the province. Again, we're somewhat challenged by trying to manage the jurisdictional patchwork for provision of health care services for ourselves, certainly for first nations, and that extends to this issue as well.
So there are some really fundamental issues for our first nations communities, like connectivity and capacity. The jurisdictions certainly have to have or have to find that capacity to undertake the work that needs to be done to ensure that the technology they put in place is not only appropriate for their needs, but also is able to speak to the provincial jurisdictions. That's the point I made earlier about our clientele going from the federal jurisdiction to the provincial jurisdiction and the need for that. All of those systems need to be talking to one another.
