Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, what's in place now would be just that. First and foremost, Yellowknife has the Yellowknife Health and Social Services Authority and the chairman of that authority sits on this council. So that's the first level.
Where issues come up with care in your community would be addressed through the local authority, which then would bring it to the Joint Leadership Committee who is now overseeing the operation of Stanton.
The chairperson of this facility also can deal with that. Issues can be brought to that table. The meetings will be held here and they are open to the public. So it's a public process as well. I will use Inuvik. Inuvik has the Inuvik Regional Health and Social Services Authority, but we have one representative on that group and each community has a representative. That's the way we function. It changed its setup a number of years ago as well, one dealing with the size of the facility. It went down to regional organizations at one time, but is back up to community reps on that authority.
Ultimately, issues here, within the community of Yellowknife specifically let's say, can be addressed through the Yellowknife Health and Social Services Authority and then ultimately it's brought to the Joint Leadership Committee that deals with the overall operation of Stanton.
I have to put this on the record, even though we have health authorities who are front-line in communities and regions, we will not get rid of the opportunity that Members of this House feel they need to address issues with the appropriate Minister. We have changed boards, we have structured boards back to full boards and whatever, but ultimately when an issue becomes enough of a thorn, it gets addressed by the Minister and we end up dealing with it in this forum. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
