Debates of May 11, 2010 (day 8)
The process is to table a document and not read it out. If you have a document to table, table the document as a whole and don’t read out the document. Thank you. Mr. Abernethy.

TABLED DOCUMENT 27-16(5): ELDERS PARLIAMENT MOTION ON SUPPLEMENTARY HEALTH BENEFITS PROGRAM
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As Members have heard, this Legislature played host last week to the first ever NWT Elders’ Parliament, and elders from across the Territory debated issues of great importance to them and also us. One of which was supplementary health benefits. I wish to table a motion that was adopted unanimously by the elders, a motion that recommends that existing supplementary health benefits coverage to seniors be continued. The motion also states that further consultation, study and revision is required before changes to seniors’ supplementary health benefits are implemented. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Again, I’d like to remind Members this is a process to table documents, not to read out documents. If you have a document, read out the title and table the document. The honourable Minister of Justice, Jackson Lafferty.
