I’d like to ask the Minister of Finance: is there going to be some sort of a caretaker in place to look at the Inuvik Health Board review similar to what happened here in Stanton, where you basically point at someone to do the review independent of the CEO or the board, so you can get to the bottom of exactly why it is that we are continuing to run these deficits year after year?

People are running in deficit situations. Like I say, for me, we raise issues in this House time and time again in regard to health care services positions that we assume should have been in a community’s mental health positions or alcohol and drug positions. Yet when we are dealing with a doctor, if you see him once a month, now it’s coming down to seem like twice a month. Dental care is down the road a couple of months. Those services are affecting the health and well-being of people in communities, yet we seem to be focusing a lot of attention on these large regional centres and Stanton.

I’m wondering exactly what type of assurance I can get from the Minister that there will be accountability and that whatever review takes place it will get to the bottom of exactly why we’re running into this situation year after year after year.
