Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I for one would like to know, along with the family of the late Effie Blake, exactly what this government has done in regard to her death. Her death was uncalled for. It was a curable disease and she should be here with us today. Due to the circumstances, she died of a disease, which is curable: tuberculosis.

Mr. Speaker, there has been a public inquiry. There has also been a report by the chief health officer in regard to a pending report. There were some 26 recommendations in that report regarding how to deal with tuberculosis from training to detection and working along with the people and the community affected.

Mr. Speaker, this disease has not only affected the family of Effie Blake, but also the community of Fort McPherson, friends and loved ones who feel like I do, that this cannot be for naught. Something has to come forth through these recommendations and it has to be meaningful. There has to be something done so that this never happens again to an individual in the Northwest Territories -- dying of a communicable disease which is curable by simply taking a tablet.

Myself, along with the family who sat through the whole public inquiry, which took place in Inuvik, in which, if nothing is done to ensure that those recommendations are acted on by this government, it will all be for naught. I do not believe that that is what the family wants to see.

Mr. Speaker, the Northwest Territories has the highest rate of tuberculosis in Canada. That fact alone should tell this government that we have something very wrong with our system in having such high statistics. We have to do more to ensure that, not only for myself but for the family, what comes out of this will be acted upon. With that, Mr. Speaker, I will be asking the Minister questions on this matter later.
