That’s exactly the problem we are having is we can’t...We can talk about the issue but it doesn’t really seem to solve the problem with the community where they have a health centre, you have different care services. We are hoping to improve on the policing side. The six-month thing is...The ideal thing is to have full operating health services through the health centre in Tsiigehtchic. Again, you mentioned the six months thing. For the community it’s better than what they are receiving right now. It’s important that we do have a recruitment and retention system that allows for those communities. If they can find somebody who is willing to stay in the community for a long period of time and even if it has to be the chartered community, if they can go out of their way to recruit, retain, identify somebody that they would like to bring in, will the government consider working with those organizations to maintain these people in those communities?

The thing with the health care system is that you have to have people that the clients or residents have faith in and have comfort in to be able to work with them and also familiarize themselves, instead

of having this continual cycle where people come in for two weeks, they go out, another person comes in for two weeks and it doesn’t have an effect, especially for a lot of the elderly people in our communities.

I would just like to ask the Minister again, six months is an attempt to get there, but the ideal situation is to have these people recruited and filled for long periods of time where we can have some stability with regard to the nursing services in the smaller communities. Is there a way that we can maybe work with the organizations?

I know that you mentioned that with the Gwich’in Tribal Council with regard to the nursing staff in the communities, the Gwich’in Tribal Council said if you want a house, we’ll build you a house. If that’s the case, maybe the Gwich’in should run their own health care systems, pull away from the Beaufort-Delta health board, recruit, retain and administer their own health services and take their portion of the money which would probably do a better job than what we’re doing now.

For myself, six months is a start, but it’s not going to solve the problem. We do have a system in place to recruit people. The whole idea is to ensure that we are able to have that long-term commitment in place where we don’t have people there for a short time, they go, someone else comes in. So again, I would like to ask the Minister if we could try for a little bit more than six months, say eight months, which probably could serve the community during those times of the month between October and December and during December break-up and freeze-up. If you have road access during the summer months where you have the ferry system in place, you can do that. So again, I would like to ask if there is any way or get some assurance that...I know you have to put that in writing, but at least I can give something to the community. Give them some comfort that we are trying to find ways that...You were there at the public meeting that I was at and the community is frustrated that this issue has been going on as long as it has. Again I put the blame smack dab on the Beaufort-Delta Divisional Board of Health in regard to the way they treat small communities.
