Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I, too, would like to follow up on some of my colleagues’ questions who have been questioning the Minister of Health and Social Services to the proposed changes to supplementary health. The interesting thing for me, I was at the briefing on Tuesday and the information provided was good information, but again, Mr. Speaker, with all the trouble that was caused last year, about a year ago, just over a year ago and the issue is back before us again, I don’t understand why it took that long to get that level of detailed information in front of the Standing Committee on Social Programs. That information, Mr. Speaker, should have been there a long time ago.
Mrs. Groenewegen was asking questions about what research the Department of Health and Social Services has done on the impact of these changes, what impact this proposed change would have on seniors here in our Territory and how many of them would actually pack their bags and leave the Northwest Territories as a direct result of these proposed changes to supplementary health benefits. Many of our residents are approaching retirement age as well and I’m not interested in grandfathering anybody. I think people who have paid taxes and raised families here in the Northwest Territories deserve and have every right to the same benefits that people enjoy today. I’d like to ask the Minister that question: what research was done?
