Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I want to take the time to thank the Minister of Health for his decision on granting a public inquiry at the Fort Smith Health Centre. However, Mr. Speaker, the Minister so readily stated that his board of inquiry, which was established, was also being pursued. I wonder what the board of inquiry that he established is going to cost?
Since the Minister so quickly estimated the cost of the public inquiry, and has never once told this House how much his board of inquiry costs, I certainly hope, as a Member, he does not ask me to approve an initial supplementary appropriation for funds for his board of inquiry. Mr. Speaker, I believe that this Minister has his priorities mixed up. He is a Minister to meet the public needs, not the departmental needs, and his actions displayed the contrary.
However, Mr. Speaker, the public inquiry that is granted to Fort Smith is totally, and most appreciated by my constituents, and I am pleased that their wish was granted. I want, again, to thank my colleagues for the support that they have given me in the House to acquire this board of inquiry. I know, without their support, we would not have got one. Thank you.
