Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister responsible for Health and Social Services, Mrs. Groenewegen. In my line of questioning, I may be plugging some of the issues that some of my colleagues have been working on for awhile, specifically Ms. Lee on Highway No. 3.
I was driving back from Hay River Sunday evening and on the ferry, I ran into a constituent of mine coming to Yellowknife from Fort Resolution. She had all her kids in the van, five of them. I asked her what she was doing. She said she was travelling from Fort Resolution to Yellowknife to visit the dentist.
I will ask the Minister of Health and Social Services, is it acceptable for her and her department to have a young woman with her five young children travelling 1350 kilometres to visit a dentist? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
