That sounded an awful lot like a no. Yellowknife does have the largest aboriginal population in the Northwest Territories, the largest single population of aboriginals. So there are individuals who live in Yellowknife who would be able to get those advantages. I understand that there is a waiting list in Yellowknife as well and that there are young children who require dental surgery services in Yellowknife who will have to ship out to Edmonton or other locations if we can’t find a way to get it to happen here.
I understand that there are some issues at Stanton, but at the same time I also know that they shut
down the operating room for the summers for extended periods of time. So there’s obviously some time to do some surgeries in Stanton if the Minister were willing to work with local dentists.
I guess I’m asking the Minister to commit to working with the local dentists in Yellowknife to arrange to have them provide dental services in the operating room here in Yellowknife.
