PETITION 6-16(5): SUPPLEMENTARY HEALTH BENEFITS PROGRAM

Glen Abernethy

Great Slave

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to present a petition dealing with the matter of the Supplementary Health Benefits Program. Mr. Speaker, the petition contains 1, 944 signatures of Yellowknife residents and, Mr. Speaker, the petition requests that access to supplementary health benefits be expanded and that Extended Health Benefits Program for seniors remains unchanged. The petitioners also request that existing revenue from territorial income tax be used to fund the expansion. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you. The honourable Member for Nahendeh, Mr. Menicoche.
