Thank you. I am not so sure we are in the middle to the bottom half. I would say we are, from the information that I see from the CIHI report, almost if not totally dead last. We are spending 16 percent of our territorial budget on health care costs. Ontario spends 43.9 percent of its budget on health care. Nova Scotia and Manitoba spend 39 percent. You go right down until you come to the lowest of provinces. PEI spends 30 percent of its entire budget on health care. We spend 16, Mr. Chairman.
You wonder, when we live in a Territory that, unfortunately, probably leads the country in preventable injury rates, suicides, teenage pregnancies, sexual assault, drug and alcohol abuse, STDs...you know, these are very unfortunate categories to be leading the country in. Then I ask, as a government, why would we only bother to address these profound issues with 16 percent of our total available budget? Thank you.
