Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I wish today to speak on the discriminatory nature of the medical travel co-payment. Some of our residents are being required to pay out of their own pocket. This is a topic that has been discussed a lot in this House, especially over the last few days, without a satisfactory response from the Minister. As I understand, Mr. Speaker, this fee of $250 was introduced a few years back to curb apparent abuse of medical travel but this has become a revenue raising scheme for the government that has resulted in a very unfair outcome. It is so unfair because in practice the arbitrary application of the policy has the government engaging in a discriminatory and punitive action against the select few who fall through the cracks and this has to stop, Mr. Speaker. For example, Mr. Speaker, I know of a case where a very normal delivery in Yellowknife resulted in a medevac because of a shortage of nurses that very night. Her neighbour, who happened to have a normal delivery at another time, would not have to pay the fee. This is about luck, Mr. Speaker, and it is arbitrary, unequal and unfair and discriminatory and it is wrong. My colleagues from Hay River, have pointed out the unfairness of having to pay the fee when they have to travel to Yellowknife for regular services that are normally available in Hay River and I agree with that too. The discriminatory message this policy is sending out does not end there. Mr. Speaker, based on what I know, what I hear is this: if you are working for an employer that gives you insurance, you are the lucky one, then you don't have to pay. If you are Aboriginal, you're the lucky one because the federal government will cover you. If you are a Métis Aboriginal, you are the lucky one because the territorial government will cover you and you don't have to pay. But if you are self-employed and have no private insurance, too bad so sad, you are the unlucky one and you have to pay. Never mind that you don't have sick leave benefits and have to pay all the other incidental costs, too. If you are employed in a low paying job and have no private insurance, too bad so sad, you are the unlucky one, you have to pay. Mr. Speaker, I would suggest to you, policy treatment based on luck is arbitrary and should not be tolerated. The Minister is well aware of this gap in the policy but he refuses to take any action and it keeps on snowballing. He keeps on mixing it up with a comprehensive review that he has been engaged in for the last 14 months and he says he needs to study it more. Mr. Speaker, there is no reason for further delay. My constituent needs to travel in very short order. Mr. Speaker. May I request unanimous consent to finish my statement? Thank you.
