Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Part of the problem is that there is no health board in the whole south western region of the Northwest Territories. It is such a large area and there are three distinct areas included in the whole region. Since the health transfer in 1988, no health board has been created in that area. The people in my area and the Deh Cho region have said that they are distinct from the Dogrib region and the South Slave, and it is going to be cumbersome to have a large board. The department never pursued this. All we have is a public administrator running the whole show. There is no real input into the whole health process. The other health boards in existence in the north have more of a say than we do. I think this is one of the problems. I recall in 1988, the suggestion was made during the transfer that they wanted to see a health board, but not a large one, just a health board for their own particular area. I think this is what the Dogrib people have already said as well as South Slave. I think this has to be pursued. There might be different suggestions coming out of the discussions in Simpson but this is one of the key items which may be causing the problems in this whole process.
The decision-making which you have spoken about has to be looked at. I am wondering if the department will be working with the regions and the communities to try to resolve this issue? Thank you.
