Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the public health officer made it clear in her press conference yesterday, along with the CEO of the Tlicho Community Services Agency, we are aware of a cluster of MRSA cases in some regions in the Territories. It’s important for people to know we are on top of that, that they should not be panicked about it. Mr. Speaker, the system, as a whole, has been working and putting enormous efforts over the last number of months to make sure that our process for infection control in our facilities are strong and clear. The public health officer has been communicating regularly with all of the health agencies and front-line to make sure everybody knows what they need to do to control that.
Secondly, we know that there is a prevalence of cases in the Tlicho and there is a very aggressive plan for the staff there to go on door-to-door visits to make sure that people are aware on the ground to prevent this from spreading.
Thirdly, the public health officer also announced an NWT-wide publicity campaign to make sure everybody is aware of this and taking proper precautions. Thank you.
