Thanks for that. Can someone tell me when the report was finished? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Well, that's good news, but I don't think it really answered my question. Who conducted the review, please? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 23)

Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess one of the other big issues system-wide is recruitment and retention. I'm just wondering if I can hear if we're making any process on recruitment and retention of healthcare professionals across our whole system. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 23)

Thanks, Madam Chair. Is there a schedule, though? When could we expect to see public reporting on an annual basis, even, of wait times? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 23)

Thanks, Madam Chair. That is good to hear. I think that is the way that we need to approach this. I am glad to hear that that is being done. This is, I guess, the place where health and social services authorities' funding flows through. I have raised this in the past. I am wondering if we are making any progress on some sort of consolidated reporting of features of our integrated system now. The health transformation system was supposed to allow for reporting of things like wait times for key medical services. Look, I understand folks are working flat out in terms of pandemic preparation and...

Thanks, Madam Chair. I appreciate the response. It's not that I question the capability of our staff; I'm just trying to understand a little bit better. If I could get maybe a commitment out of the Minister to just prepare a little bit more information, a briefing note or something, on how that annual review takes place and what kind of information is checked and so on, I would find it quite helpful myself. If I could get a commitment from the Minister to do that? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 23)

Thanks, Madam Chair. I notice on page 168, on contributions, that there was some funding provided to the nurses association of the NWT and Nunavut a few years back. I seem to recall that there was going to be some effort towards having one regulatory framework for nursing professionals. Can I just get a bit of an update as to where that work is at? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 23)

Thanks Madam Chair. We obviously want to take care of our citizens who are down south, and I understand that many of them have very complex needs and require specialized care that we can't provide here in the North. I am just wondering how often the cases, and treatment that's required for individuals, are reviewed. Is it on an annual basis, to see if those services might be available in the North? What's the process for reviewing all of this to see if any of those individuals can be moved back up to the Northwest Territories? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 23)

Merci, Monsieur le President. That is all good news from the Premier. I want to thank her for that. Just as the federal government is using this funding as leverage to get Alberta to commit to better management of resource extraction to prevent these sorts of things from happening, we haven't gone there. Five years after devolution, we've made no changes to our legislation or at least even brought them into force to make sure this doesn't happen again, and again, and again. Strategic Oil & Gas, we're going to inherit the site Cantung, it goes on and on. I want a commitment from this Premier...

Thanks, Madam Chair. Can the Minister tell us when she expects to provide this document to AOC? A precise date would be really helpful. Thanks, Madam Chair.
