Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Health and Social Services, in response to previous questions, said that he and his department were committed to a certain level of basic service within the community. In the case of Hay River, physiotherapy is part of that basic service, which is available in our community. Now, if there are labour market issues and unavailable candidates for the physiotherapist position, then residents have to travel outside our community. Isn't that a bit of a contradiction of that basic level of service that he is talking about? Shouldn't those people who paid that $250 medical co-payment, have that money reimbursed to them? Thank you.
