Thank you, Mr. Chair. I also wanted to speak up very clearly in favour of moving forward on this consolidated primary care clinic. I compliment the departments for moving forward and getting this lease established. I hope we can move very quickly on the capital items, assuming it is approved shortly here, and get operational.

One of the reasons I’m pleased this is moving forward and hope it moves forward quickly and efficiently is that we have a hope that this will resolve some of the situations we are facing at the Stanton hospital, where the emergency room deals with much that could be dealt with at a clinic like this. Further to that, my understanding is that this clinic would operate long hours, perhaps around the clock.

One of the big issues that has been raised at Stanton emergency is the security issue. We have all heard horror stories about what is happening out there and what can happen, what the potential is. We are hoping that people will quickly adopt this facility in downtown Yellowknife, but I want to know that some thought has been given to designing the

facility to be secure if it is going to operate during nighttime hours in downtown Yellowknife. That’s the reality of today’s world. I am wondering if the Minister could share evidence that this is so, that this facility is being designed to be secure and attractive to emergency patients.
