Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question today goes to the Minister of Health and Social Services. I would like to continue on with the questioning I had yesterday. Mr. Speaker, I must say that the Minister has mastered the skill of being very verbose and saying a lot but not making any precise commitment or even answering questions.

I really need to hear from the Minister's lips that he is concerned about what is happening at Stanton, that he understands that this is a regional hospital and not fluff it off by saying he cares about every other place in the Territories. I need to know that he understands that this is the only acute treatment centre north of 60. This is where the specialists are. This is where people from all over the North have to go to emergency, surgery, ICU, medicine and the imaging centre.

Can he bring himself, Mr. Speaker, to say that this is so? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
