Thank you, Mr. Chair. My next question has to do with the area of improving and bettering the lives of the people we serve. One of the areas I have a concern with is the quality of health care. A particular health concern is the quality of the water that is being provided in our communities. In the case of my communities, Fort McPherson and Aklavik, there is a major problem with various chemicals that are showing up in our water supplies.
In Fort McPherson, they were told just in the last couple of months that they were not allowed to drink their water, and also not to cook with it. They were told to use other alternative sources of water such as snow, ice or water from other creeks within the area. This matter was raised in the 13th Assembly by myself, through motions through Committee of the Whole with the support of my colleagues, in the hopes that this issue would be dealt with.
I would like to know from the candidates, what do you establish as being a priority of government? Building infrastructure, building roads or improving the quality of health in our communities, which would include having safe drinking water for all the residents of the Northwest Territories? Thank you.
