Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I mentioned in my Member’s statement, I’d like to ask the Minister of Health and Social Services: Will the Minister increase the funds provided to the community of Tsiigehtchic for the wellness worker position? Thank you.

I thank the Minister for his answers there. I look forward to working with him on an ongoing basis. Thank you.

Will the Minister station a licenced practical nurse in Tsiigehtchic on a full-time basis as a pilot project?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I mentioned in my opening statement, I have questions for the Minister of Health and Social Services. One of the benefits I mentioned earlier in my statement, what would it really cost to station a nurse in Tsiigehtchic? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Minister budget for one nurse and one LPN in Tsiigehtchic as part of the budget for 2013-2014?

What savings does the Health department estimate there would be as a result of reducing travel and some lowering of the need for critical care?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Mackenzie River will soon be freezing and Tsiigehtchic will be cut off from Inuvik by road, and Fort McPherson too, for that matter.

It seems that our pleas and that of the local leadership are falling on deaf ears.

I’m willing to give the current Health Minister the benefit of the doubt, since he’s only been in the office for a year. He...

When can we expect to have the Joe Greenland Centre ready for elders to move in and have a full-time home care worker on site?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I mentioned in my statement, I was in Aklavik this past week and I was very surprised to see that the renovations to the Joe Greenland Centre did not happen over the summer. I’d like to ask the Minister what is the holdup for the renovations that were supposed to be done on the Joe Greenland Centre this past summer.
