Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my Member's statement today, I outlined the concerns that were brought to my attention regarding the reimbursement of extended health benefit expenses. I indicated that this was not only a problem for the constituents of Yellowknife South, but for all residents of the North who are eligible for extended health benefit coverage.
However, it is apparent that this problem is specific to persons who have other insurance plans, and who do not have 100 percent payment coverage. I would like to follow up with the Minister responsible for Health and Social Services on this matter.
Could the Minister advise this House if she is aware of the financial problem constituents with other insurance benefits face when purchasing prescription drugs? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
