Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question today goes to the Minister of Health and Social Services and it's with regard to the medical co-payment as well. Mr. Speaker, this issue has been brought up many times and it was something I asked the Minister about yesterday. I totally sympathize with the concerns that Members from Hay River have. Mr. Speaker, the difficulty with this is that I believe the application of this policy of $250 to some people and not others is so unfair and it's an unequal application of the law. It's discriminatory. I don't think it would stand up to our own Human Rights Act. So why doesn't the Minister just stop this and not talk about all these discussion papers and everything else that's going on. He's heard enough of it, Mr. Speaker, why can't he just end the policy? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
