Thank you, Mr. Chair, fellow colleagues. I just want to publicly, or we should be publicly congratulating our Stanton Territorial Hospital, their staff and administration for their recent accreditation of 95 percent. This shows great care in our primary facility, but we are struggling with the level of quality and the sustainability of health care in some of our many regions across the North. This government is currently spending 25 percent of our budget on health, where national averages are around the 42 percent mark. Coined by many as the greatest unsustainable delusion of our generation with aging baby boomers and costs rising, many budgets, many economists are saying that government budgets will push beyond the 50 percent mark.
My question to the candidates is: what will you do to sustain our health care in the North in the years to come? Thank you.
