Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do believe my next question comes out of this, and it has to do with health insurance benefits for those residents who are not Canadian citizens but who come to live and work in the Territories for one reason or another. I want to state, first of all, that we want to make sure that we have a tight control on who gets our health cards. There have been lots of debates about whether or not those who are eligible who are being issued our health care cards are meeting the criteria and such, and we would encourage the department to make sure that they do the job of making sure that only those who are eligible gets them. This is an issue that our legislature has to address, and that is the fact that with Yellowknife attracting a lot of foreigners who come to work in the diamond industry, and historically we have attracted other foreign nationals who come to work it the North, whether as nannies and in many professions. I am told that one is entitled to get health benefits under NWT health insurance, if a person is eligible to work and live here. But when they apply for those health care benefits, they run into some problems and obstacles.
Another case that I've heard that happened lately is a person who came to work for a diamond mine in the North who has a work permit and, therefore, is eligible for health benefits under our insurance plan, was denied insurance because the person did not have a passport that was valid for more than six months. I'm not sure what the rationale is behind requiring such criteria. So I would like to know from the Minister if he could advise us as to what the GNWT's policy is in terms of the criteria and eligibility for foreign nationals who work and live here and who are eligible for health benefits? Thank you.
