Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In regard to the whole area of finding a solution to this problem, Mr. Speaker, there has to be an implementation, some sort of means of monitoring the residents of the Mackenzie Delta to try to
pinpoint this problem.
I feel there has to be initiative by this government to allow all people in the Mackenzie Delta the opportunity to be tested. In a lot of cases, I find a lot of residents who do find themselves getting cancer. They go to the health centre time and time again and being told you either have ulcers, you have some other disease, but at the end of the day, when they are diagnosed with cancer, it is usually too late. It is after the fact.
I think it is critical we formulate some program to ensure people are monitored and that we take this problem seriously. There has to be more dollars and resources put into the evaluation and monitoring of the health of the people in the Mackenzie Delta. At the appropriate time, Mr. Speaker, I will be asking the Minister a question on this matter. Thank you.
