I am very concerned that some of the statements that have been made in this House and in the media have been unfair to the residents of the Keewatin. Mr. Speaker, this humiliating label is unfair and insulting to the Keewatin residents and especially each and every one of the health board members of the communities. They deserve an apology. Our region has always been well

known for being pro-active and productive. I will challenge any one of the Members who have criticized the efforts of these community members to go and see them and repeat what they have been saying face to face. Mr. Speaker, I seek unanimous consent to conclude my statement.
