Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is clear to me that mental health workers are the forgotten health care workers in the Northwest Territories. Proper mental health can be just as important to a community's well-being as taking care of the community's physical health.
Indeed, there is a greater and greater body of knowledge, Mr. Speaker, that tells us that a growing number of reasons for in-patient hospital admissions is those who have mental disabilities and mental disorders. In our correctional institutions, the impacts of stress and poor living standards is culminating in mental disorders that are crowding those facilities. Can the Minister tell the House whether there is a full complement of mental health workers in the Northwest Territories? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
