Thank you. I’d just like to follow up on my questions that I asked previously to the Minister of Health and Social Services with regard to the process in place for examining complaints about the conduct of physicians in the Northwest Territories. Again, I want to be clear, I’m not talking about a whole lot of people. I’m talking about one person. But I need to understand this process, as do my constituents who have concerns about the conduct of this individual.

Mr. Speaker, in response to a previous question, the Minister stated that these things can take a while. That is frightening to me, because when there is a complaint made and this person continues to practice, it necessarily puts other people at risk. I’d like to ask the Minister: what could contribute to this process taking a while? We are, as a government, and she, as a Minister, responsible to protect the public interest. People who are sick are vulnerable. People who are mentally ill are even more vulnerable. It is incumbent on us to make sure that the people who are providing services to them are reliable and of good standing and of good conduct and character. Why would this take a while? Thank you.
