Mr. Speaker, the key words that the Minister used are “working together.” If it was working together, I wouldn’t be raising this issue.
I just came out of the Sahtu. These are the issues at Norman Wells. There’s a seniors’ house in Fort Good Hope where the floors totally need replacing. The seniors are going to be living with it through the winter if it doesn’t get replaced.
So I’m asking the Minister, in terms of having some discussion with her Cabinet through the avenues that are available, to work with them and come up with a plan that would have the seniors’ sector reorganized. Mr. Premier said he was not going to have the status quo; he wanted to shake things up and think differently, reorganize the departments, bring them together. This is for the seniors. It’s not for the bureaucrats or me; it’s for the seniors.
I’m asking the Minister again: will she look at a coordinated approach for our seniors, through the avenues that are available to her with the other Ministers, so they cannot run around the community throughout the months and can come to one place and say, “Thank you, government; you did this for us”?
