MEMBER’S STATEMENT ON EMERGENCY AND AMBULANCE SERVICES ON HIGHWAYS

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In the Mackenzie Delta we have 300 kilometres of highways with only one ambulance service in Inuvik. Many times we have had major accidents on the highway, at which time members of the public have had to act to save lives.

In this day and age, we should have trained personnel in our communities. For example, Fort McPherson and Tsiigehtchic could provide ambulance services. This would help keep our communities and our highway system safe and also provide many jobs in our communities.

I’ll have questions for the Minister of Health and Social Services later today. Thank you.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Blake. The Member for Tu Nedhe, Mr. Beaulieu.
