Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Health. First of all I would like to thank the Hon. Tony Whitford for coming to Fort Simpson to attend a meeting with the Deh Cho Council on February 8th. The Minister had the opportunity to listen to the people at the community level.

I believe that this government is supposed to provide programs and services to people at the community level. He heard our concerns regarding the hospital and he saw with his eyes what is required in Fort Simpson. He indicated to us that he had an assessment team coming into Simpson on February 12th and I would like to know when he can provide me with an indication of how he will deal with the situation at the hospital in Fort Simpson. Mahsi.
