Mr. Speaker, the senior I am referring to is from my community. The concern that I have is that we do not have any qualified translators to convey the situation to the senior. The senior had his nephew, and he does not speak his language perfectly himself, but he accommodated him. I think in a situation like this, where a person loses his life, that we have to look at it seriously and see what it is that we could do to improve the situation. I do not know if he was given the right information or not. I am not questioning the fact of the confidentiality between the doctor and the patient; I am questioning the process that resulted in the loss of life.

I would like to ask the Minister if there is a process used in the communities when a patient is being referred south, or whether it is still a situation between a doctor and the patient, regardless of whether there is a lack of communication.
