Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to address the issues currently facing the employees at the Hay River Community Health Board. Firstly, I would like to thank the Minister for the trips he has made to Hay River to address the many issues that have arisen over the status of the Hay River Community Health Board.
Although my constituents appreciate his efforts, a number of questions still remain unanswered, especially in the area of collective bargaining and funding.
Would the Minister please advise this House how changes to the Health and Social Services Act that he is contemplating affect the legal status of the Hay River Community Health Board and who is ultimately their employer? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
