Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Minister has said there have been discussions ongoing and the department is hopeful we can move to a different model for primary health care. I think the Minister knows the committee was supportive of that approach.
But specifically, in the four months that are covered by this interim appropriation, can we expect to see any resolution to this? Are we six months or a year away from seeing this instituted here? What is the time frame under which we expect to see this?
The Minister also knows the committee suspected there would be some resistance to this. I would like to hear what efforts the department intends to take, probably in conjunction with health boards and here in Yellowknife with Yellowknife Health and Social Services, to address the public concern that may arise about the switch in the model?
