Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As legislators in this House, we have the responsibility to provide programs and services to everybody in the community. The recommendations that were made by the Auditor General and all these other committees were that the department see how they could better improve the financial administration and well as the delivery of programs. There are a lot of recommendations.
It is clear that people are concerned. The Special Committee on Health and Social Services toured around the north and have seen with their own eyes what is going on out there. As a result, they made recommendations. Likewise, MLAs are aware of the different problems out in the communities.
Yes, we are here to approve the total budget of the Department of Health. That's what we're doing here. With the money we approve, the programs and services will be delivered. It is a financial matter, no matter how you look at it. So, yes, we are looking at all these different recommendations for financial reasons. Thank you.
