Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The cancellation of the transfer of the Hay River Community Health Board caused substantial turmoil to the employees of the Hay River Community Health Board. A great deal of time and effort was spent by a good many preparing for this government-imposed plan. Then abruptly, the rug was pulled out from under them when the plan was scrapped.
Will the Minister please inform this House whether his department plans to compensate the health board, the union and the many individuals who spent hours and hours of their own time pursuing this fruitless exercise? For the resources they were required to expend. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
