Committee Motion 2-16(2) To Delete $500,000 For Fort Smith Health Centre — HSS Committee Motion Not Carried
Consideration in Committee of the Whole of Bills and Other Matters

February 17th, 2008

Kevin A. Menicoche Nahendeh

I won’t be supporting the motion to delete. I believe that providing services to the communities in the region are an important aspect of delivering our programs and services to the residents of the Northwest Territories. That’s something that we should continue to focus on and continue to champion.

Our constituents and our people in the North want that service. They don’t want to be centralizing everything and moving education and health services back to Yellowknife, and that’s not the purpose of any central government, I believe. We’re on this path of devolving programs and services, and I think we should continue it. As an MLA from small communities and regions, I will certainly support any expenditures in our region.
