Mr. Speaker, I don’t know how else to put this. The person is committed. The money is already budgeted for that health centre to operate in regard to its O&M — the cost to operate, the cost of health care — for that community. There are dollars earmarked from this Legislature to run a health centre in Tsiigehtchic.

The community is more than willing to work with the health department to do this, but because the Department of Health or the board in Inuvik, which has 45 vacancies, which they can’t even administer.... They run a deficit.

Mr. Speaker, I’m not too sure how else to put it, but exactly why is there such a complicated situation here where a community’s health is at risk and you have a person committed to helping the community solve its position? It’s been outstanding for six years. But now that we have a solution to the problem, we still have roadblocks to solve this situation.

I’d like to ask the Minister: could the Minister get directly involved, make this appointment as the Minister, use her authority and override the decision of the board in Inuvik, which doesn’t seem to want to do anything?
