Mr. Speaker, again, the situation in
my riding is urgent when you cannot get the fundamental basic programs and services such as mental health positions or alcohol and drug counselling or nurses, and having doctors’ visits cancelled because they can’t make it. I’d just like to ask the Minister again: Realizing that these challenges are out there, this health centre has been running deficits year after year, but yet we continue to bail them out and allow them to operate the way they are and not have basic programs and services delivered. Again, I’d like to ask the Minister: Would you seriously consider appointing a public administrator to oversee what is the problem with the Inuvik Regional Hospital in regard to not being able to deliver these critical services to our smaller communities?
