Thank you, Mr. Speaker. First of all, I would like to thank the Member for his leadership and speaking directly to his constituents in his riding to take advantage of this vaccination program, because it is safe and it is important.
Mr. Speaker, as we have communicated to the public, we have action teams travelling to the communities. A couple of things that people should know when they look at these lists on the websites are that even if communities are not listed there, there are vaccinations happening by the local staff. The second thing about the Beaufort-Delta region is that contrary to what we thought...Because our government fought hard, and I made it clear in our provincial and territorial Health Ministers telephone calls all through the summer that we needed to have the vaccine first, because we knew the fall and winter comes here first and our areas are remote and isolated and we do not have readily accessible acute care facilities everywhere, that we wanted to be first and we did become first, but within the region we do have to make some priority decisions. So far the Beaufort-Delta region is showing a lot less cases of H1N1 and I think that’s the basis of those decisions.
