Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, when I read this report, and after having talked with people as indicated, the department is targeted as a major part of the problem.
One of the concerns I have is that, since 1997, when we did all of the deficit reduction cuts, until today, based on the figures I have received from the Financial Management Board Secretariat, there has been an 11 percent increase to the headquarters for Health and Social Services in Yellowknife, in programs and frontline staff in Yellowknife. All other communities have shrunk back, yet there seems to be an inflation of the headquarters people in Yellowknife. Would the Minister indicate if, as part of this report, she will look to see whether or not that is the case? How does she intend to get the services and staff out to the people?
