Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Miltenberger has covered quite a wide range of subjects and I will attempt to address a few of them. He states that the system is in a state of distress and he has a sense of a significant problem. That is a correct assessment. That is what we are seeing as well.

We are seeing that because these problems have come to our attention, we need to take a proactive position with them and try to address them. There are many pressures on the health and social services system, and we as a government and as a department and myself as a Minister have a responsibility to ensure that there is a sustainable quality of service for health and social service programs in the Northwest Territories.

We are not arguing with that observation. We are stating that is the case and that it is now important to identify what the most appropriate solutions are to those problems.

Mr. Miltenberger refers to a quote from an old Hansard. In fact, I do very well remember...
