Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to present a petition, Petition 23-13(4), dealing with the matter of funding cuts made by the Government of the Northwest Territories to the Inuvik Regional Health Board. Mr. Speaker, the petition contains 125 signatures from the residents of Fort McPherson. Mr. Speaker, the petition requests the Government of the Northwest Territories deciding not to fund Inuvik Regional Health Board to provide community health worker services in various communities, Fort McPherson. Over the last few years, the Tl'oondih Society has received some funding and also has designated Jennifer Commerce as the Community Health Worker. The funding is not in place for the Tl'oondih Health Society to continue providing a very well worth service. Since the program has begun, there have been no successful suicides in the community and the threat of suicides has declined.
