Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have some more questions for the Minister of Transportation in regard to the Deh Cho Bridge process and project. I’m wondering if the Minister could provide for the House what currently -- and I’m speaking today -- is the government’s liability in the Deh Cho Bridge project? That includes the legal fees paid to date to the Deh Cho Bridge Corporation and any additional liability under the concession agreement that was signed September 28th .

Thank you.

Question 40-16(1): Emergency Health Services Response For Rural Communities

David Krutko Mackenzie Delta

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health, Ms. Lee, and it’s in regards to the community I represent and regards to Tsiigehtchic. Right now there’s no permanent nurse in the community and yet, Mr. Speaker, they have had situations where they had emergency responses by way of trying to deal with incidents in the community, but yet there’s very poor dialogue or basically who do you call or where do you go and what to do in emergency situations. I’d like to ask the Minister of Health exactly what is she doing in response to the concerns from the community of Tsiigehtchic in regards to emergency services being provided to that community when emergencies occur?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it is well known that we continue to experience pressures in all of our communities, especially in small communities, in terms of being able to recruit and retain our nursing staff and other health care professionals. I do remember most recently that there were even more pressures in the community of Tsiigehtchic. The Beaufort-Delta Health Authority has, they try to do their best to respond to coverage necessary and the communication plan and I think until we can staff that community with nurses, that’s what we have to do. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the perfect solution will be to have a permanent nurse in the community, but right now that’s just a dream. So I’d

like to ask the Minister exactly what are we doing as the Department of Health and Social Services to ensure that communities that don’t have nursing in place do have a response system to deal with emergencies in their community?
