Thank you, Mr. Chair. And thank you to the Member. And no one -- no lives should be lost because of those kinds of gaps in the health care system. And my heart goes out to his community for that. And I think that's -- that should be the message we take from that concern, is that there's a real human cost to when our health system isn't working. It's not just delays and costs but there's an impact on the lives of our residents. And that's why it's so important to get this right. And I think -- I don't think we need to study the issue very hard. We know it's not working. We know there's not enough accountability and transparency in the system that's been set up, and that needs to change. And that means a legislative review, legislative changes, and they need to happen swiftly because the longer we wait, the more money that's going to be -- that's going to be hemorrhaged by a system that isn't working. And the solution is always seemingly has been to say give more money to provide health services but with no accountability on that money, how that money's being spent, we don't actually know if it's getting the best results for patients and is being used to the most efficient way possible. So I would like to see that.
I would like to see us -- the new health Minister have that specifically in their mandate, to go forth and use their departmental resources to do a full redesign of the authority and how we provide health care services in the Northwest Territories. I think we also need to be flexible and consider whether or not do we need to split the departments, which is something the Member also raised in his speech, into social services and perhaps attached income support and some other programs, and then health as a standalone because it's such an important portfolio to our residents and there are so many challenges. Having a focused look at that is really essential. So I think we need to look at how we can change our own leadership as an Assembly around the health file and around how it's operating on the ground. Something needs to be done, and it needs to be a priority for the next Minister and for the next Assembly. Thank you.
