Yes. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If the Northwest Territories doesn't have a policy that states quite clearly what acceptable levels of wait times are, then I'd suggest we get one immediately. Because my constituent has been suffering for three years, the Department of Health and Social Services' answer to that is to put him on another wait list to make him wait another two years. it's completely unacceptable, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, precedent has been set in other provinces across this country where if an individual has to seek medical attention outside the country they do so. When they come back, the cost of the medical treatment for that individual is covered by the province. I'd like to ask the Minister, could he have his staff at Health and Social

Services look into this practice that takes place in other provinces? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
