I think the office of the child advocate has been proposed in this Assembly. As far as some of the Members here, it was supposed to be a very live issue, but it appears from the Minister's statement, that it's not. It's something we will have to remember to follow through with.
I just want to use the remaining moments of my time to speak about something that we were discussing earlier in the day, which has to do with the $250 medical travel co-payment. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate that a lot of this has been said, and I haven't had a chance to look at all the words that the Minister spoke, but I think if he would look at the transcript tomorrow morning, he would find quite a contradiction in what he stated this morning. One of them that I remember is the fact that somehow we cannot discontinue this because it's a revenue source item and second had to do with something like you can't charge the federal government... We have to charge everybody equally I think is what he was saying. So he gets some money from the federal government who pay for some co-payments under non-insured health benefits, I am assuming, and then GNWT pays for their employees and some other companies and municipalities will pay for their employees. So he seems to understand the concept of fairness, but what he doesn't seem to appreciate is this is all done on the backs of very few individuals who aren't covered anywhere. Those who are working, who are self-employed or who are working in low paying jobs that have no insurance. So to place such a burden to recover the costs, even if it's big money, $1 million, in the big scheme of things, it's probably not a lot of money. To do it on the backs of those who can least afford it, I would really like to have the Minister reconsider that. Perhaps if he reads the transcript tomorrow morning, he will see the contradiction that he expressed. I want to give the Minister another chance to explain that. Thank you.
