Thank you. That would be a conversation, I think, for Executive and Indigenous Affairs to have with the federal government, and I'm not aware that they are currently having it. Thank you.

As a matter of fact, that did not happen. The people who are receiving a second dose of their vaccine are doing so within the recommended 28-to-42-day time frame, even though we did receive fewer vaccines than we had hoped at the beginning of February, we have now received plenty of vaccine. In some cases, people are closer to the end of the 42-day time frame, but nobody was shortchanged a second dose because of rolling out first doses.

Yes. Thank you. I will start by mentioning that people who are regular medical-travel travellers are a priority for vaccination, and so there is an effort to ensure that they are not constantly inconvenienced by their medical travel. In terms of the cost of bringing doctors to the NWT, I will look at the deputy minister to answer the question. Thank you.

Thank you. I know it looks that way, but it's not that way. I'll ask Ms. Mathison to fill in the blanks there. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. It's approximately 2,200 people. Thank you.

Thank you. I'm not aware that we are considering covering non-Indigenous to the NWT Metis, and we find that ourselves. I would be surprised if we wanted to go to in that direction, given our escalating health costs as they exist now. Thank you.

I'd have to return with that information. Thank you.

Yes. That's correct. It's under this program.

Madam Chair, I would like to call a different witness for this division, so I wonder if the Sergeant-at-Arms could escort Ms. Mathison out and escort the other witness in.

I haven't had a meeting like that, but that doesn't mean one hasn't happened. I will ask the deputy minister if he can elaborate. Thank you.
