PETITION 5-16(5): SUPPLEMENTARY HEALTH BENEFITS

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to present a petition dealing with the matter of supplementary health benefits. Mr. Speaker, the petition contains 495 signatures of NWT residents and, Mr. Speaker, the petitioners request that access to supplementary health benefits be expanded and that incremental costs to support the expansion be funded through graduated territorial income tax. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you. The honourable Member for Great Slave, Mr. Abernethy.
