Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have had very intense debate over the last week over health care in the Northwest Territories. I would like to relate to Members a very short anecdote about a very good friend of mine. His name is Merlyn Williams. About a week and a half ago, in British Columbia, he was involved in a very nasty traffic accident. The vehicle he was driving, together with his wife, Joyce, rolled over four times in an area near Revelstoke. They were in hospital, very, very badly injured, for some time. He was given pain killers and all kinds of medications so that the pain would be lessened, Eventually, he was able to come back to Yellowknife to be at home and to get treatment from our local hospital.

I would like to thank the hospital for identifying the source of his pain, which they were not able to identify in the South. He had broken several bones in his neck, which were identified at Stanton Yellowknife Hospital, and he is now getting the care that he should have been given in the first place. Thank you.
