Samuel Gargan Deh Cho

I want to ask the Minister of Health a question. During a press conference last week with the Stanton Yellowknife Hospital Board, a statement was made to the effect that every procedure for abortion gets some form of pain reliever. I guess the form of pain relief is what I am interested in, What kind of pain relief are we talking about?

Is the Minister prepared to consider a review that is not only associated to the Stanton Yellowknife Hospital, but generally to the medical procedures for abortions throughout the NWT?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the Minister of Health, or any or his advisors across the way there, whether or not they could consider a public review rather than an independent review of the medical practices in the Northwest Territories.
