Statements

MEMBER’S STATEMENT ON FUNDING FOR COMMUNITY WELLNESS WORKER IN TSIIGEHTCHIC

Frederick Blake Jr.

Mackenzie Delta

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It’s been six months since changes to the wellness worker in Tsiigehtchic were made. In April the wellness worker position was contracted to the community with a large decrease of funds available compared to when the GNWT offered the position.

This government should not set the communities up for failure. As we look to decentralize many of our government positions to the communities, we should be providing adequate funding to the communities so they succeed. Thank you.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Blake. The Member for Inuvik Boot Lake, Mr. Moses.
