Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I guess the interpretation of treaties and treaty obligations is before courts, or through interpretations and different means of how they view health care education to the aboriginal people. Depending on what side of the bed I guess you wake up on, you will obviously get different, various interpretations. So I just look forward to the Minister in terms of how he's going to proceed forward and something that we want to continue on. Again, its money well spent in the health service in terms of what he called a bad debt. But somehow we should continue on, and be vigilant, and be persistent and keep on moving forward. We'll move somewhere, maybe not right away, but I believe that he has a good point in terms of the health care issue.
The one issue I want to talk about is a little different. It's regarding the medical travel and the centralization of services by the Stanton Territorial Health Authority. Now the issue is it may be a good system setup, but it seems like we have some glitches in between the approval from Stanton Territorial to our regions and to our communities. Sometimes the health centres or the community itself has disagreement with the approval process and seems to have one department to have one person have a lot of authority to say yes or no to medical travel in terms of escorts. Again, it goes back to this whole issue of one person having a lot of authority to approve or not to approve certain escorts to go with certain people. I wanted to ask the Minister, would he consider providing the nursing centres and nursing stations some leverage or some flexibility to tell the medical services centralized office that this person really needs to travel and this escort needs to go with this person, and have some flexibility for our nurses to have that type of weight or argument? Otherwise, they usually get overwritten and central ops says, nope, sorry, and it just causes a lot of undue stress and abuse for the families in the communities. So would the Minister look at something like that that would give some authority to the local health centres? Thank you.
