Déclarations dans les débats

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 19)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. On page 195, it shows that the NWT Health and Social Services Authority and the Tlicho service authority are seeing increases in their budgets, but I did not see Hay River Health and Social Services Authority get an increase. Can the Minister explain the rationale for this? Thank you.

Question 199-18(3): Medical Travel
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 19)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I spoke about the challenges of medical travel, and I have some follow-up questions for the Minister of Health and Social Services. Yesterday, the Minister said that the department does not track flight cancellations, rescheduling, rerouting flights as part of the medical travel for people who are going out for appointments and that. Will the Minister direct his staff to start doing this? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 19)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. With NWTHSSA getting the quotes back to the department, is that information going to be shared with committee? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 196-18(3): Youth Apprehension Policies
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 19)

I thank the Minister for that answer. The question comes down to: when we are talking about "capacity," are we talking about mental capacity, or are we just talking about age capacity? Sometimes, you have to be 14, 16, or is it mental capacity we are talking about?

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 19)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, I understand that chemotherapy, depending on the cancer, goes back and forth, you know, down to Alberta. I guess, fortunately or unfortunately, my constituents who seem to have it were able to do it in Yellowknife. That was the big thing, as they recognized the service that was here was great. They said nothing but positive stuff about it. Then when they went down to Edmonton, they didn't see any difference. They didn't see any difference in service and that. They were informed that it was going to January; now, we're looking into April, so when can the department...

Question 196-18(3): Youth Apprehension Policies
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 19)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to follow up some questions with the Health and Social Services Minister in regard to the comment he said in regard to lawyers: does each child who is apprehended, do they get appointed a lawyer all the time? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 19)

I can't hear you. I think I was listening to hard country music, so my hearing is going, too. I wanted to ask you about chemo. Is this the section on it? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 18)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm hoping this is right. The home support workers, is it this section that we need to be in here? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 18)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just a quick yes or no answer from the Minister first: child and youth mental health is in this section here? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 18)

Mr. Chair, I guess the first question is: is this where the chemo section is we should be talking about? We should be talking about the chemo. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
