I certainly wanted to say to the Minister that she certainly has been responsive to some of the issues that I have been dealing with in my life or in my constituents’ lives. She has been very helpful in terms of how we get to some of the issues. I want to say that in our smaller communities it is a reality for us that when we go back, we are stopped by certain members in our communities and told, or given a call, or when we go visit, that certain things in the communities for the hospital for early detection sometimes is not taken too seriously. There’s a number of cases I could give to the Minister and that’s why I’m asking these questions here. Is there any type of
community guarantee wait time? I know every case. Sometimes I like to look at it as an isolated case, but some things have been happening for too long and too far in between in terms of having our people come into some of the centres here that need to look at some of their illnesses. So I guess in that sense that’s why I’m asking these questions here. I’m hoping to see something that will make a difference in some of our people’s lives. Working with our health boards, give them resources. Look at Colville Lake with 135 people and the few dogs that Bern Brown has in terms of the population here. Colville Lake in this day and age with their health centre, there’s a case that I don’t want to say right now, but it’s not as rosy out there as it may seem. It’s actually quite sorry to say that in this day and age, with the modern type of equipment, that Colville Lake is still operating their health centre in the ‘30s and ‘40s. This is why I’m asking these specific questions. I haven’t yet seen much of an improvement, since I became an MLA, to the services in Colville Lake. That’s only one community. That’s why I’m asking these questions here. I know the Minister is trying hard, but I’d like her to try harder.
