Public Inquiry Into The Administration And Quality Of Medical Services In Fort Smith
Item 4: Members' Statements

September 9th, 1992

Thank you, Mr. Speaker and thank you to my honourable colleagues. Mr. Speaker, as I have stated, I have two comments that I would like to leave in mind for my honourable colleagues to think about.

How many answers did the general public in Yellowknife receive, with respect to the very legitimate questions and concerns, when allegations concerning Dr. Robert Clemmy of Stanton Hospital were dealt with by a board of inquiry? If I recall correctly, everything was kept confidential.

How many times, in all of our constituencies, have we seen the Department of Health insisting on doing things its own way, regardless of what the people who are served by the health system want?

---Applause

Mr. Speaker, my constituents have told me that, unequivocally, they want a public inquiry. Not a review, under the Medical Profession Act. If this Minister fails to listen to my constituents, I can be rest assured that he will not listen to other constituents. Thank you.
