Thank you, Minister Cochrane. Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, committee. That brings us back to page 63, Municipal and Community Affairs, total capital estimates, $28,002,000. Are we agreed?

You know, in the future, it's very important that we have a set date. I noticed the last couple of years we've been waiting for the ice conditions. The ferry is almost shut down on the side of Tsiigehtchic before the nurse is actually put in place. So just for the future, maybe we could set a date, whether it's October 15th, for example. Will the Minister please pass this on to the Health Authority?

Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Next we have Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Minister Cochrane.

Thank you, Mr. Testart. Minister Moses.

Thank you, Minister Cochrane. Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Ms. Young.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, over the years I have sat in this House, but my constituents in Tsiigehtchic look forward to this time of year, not only because it is the time of hunting and fishing, Mr. Speaker, but it is also one of the times during the year that we have a full qualified nurse, during freeze-up.

Mr. Speaker, I can't express enough the relief in the community during this time when we have a nurse in our community. Mr. Speaker, I think we're a little ways off from getting a full-time nurse in Tsiigehtchic, but I think we're making progress with the new unit that's been put...

Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Minister Moses.
