Member’s Statement on Nursing Services in Tsiigehtchic

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, over the years I have sat in this House, but my constituents in Tsiigehtchic look forward to this time of year, not only because it is the time of hunting and fishing, Mr. Speaker, but it is also one of the times during the year that we have a full qualified nurse, during freeze-up.

Mr. Speaker, I can't express enough the relief in the community during this time when we have a nurse in our community. Mr. Speaker, I think we're a little ways off from getting a full-time nurse in Tsiigehtchic, but I think we're making progress with the new unit that's been put in Tsiigehtchic for both nurses and the RCMP. Mr. Speaker, I'll have some questions for the Minister later today. Mahsi.
