At the end, I guess. What is the wish of committee? Committee has decided we’ll take all the general comments for the day and then the Minister can answer all of them at the end. So, Mr. Menicoche, if you could complete all your general comments and then we’ll move on to the next person.

I wonder what the other barriers are, I guess. Is it all financial? What are the complications of not having them in the GNWT system?
