Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister states the obvious. The costs of health care are going up proportionately across the board. So why would we want to take supplementary health benefits and make that the target and say that’s not priority of this government? It’s going up across the board, whether you’re talking about front-line services, supplementary health benefits, pharmaceuticals, diagnostic procedures, new medical science, it’s going up, that’s the way it is. We can’t really stop that train. People are living longer, thankfully, and there are more ways to be treated in the medical system, thankfully. So when we talk about the priorities of this government, why do you want take supplementary health benefits and pick on that particular one thing?

Mr. Miltenberger, I read in the media, wants to build a $2.5 million liquor store in Hay River. Is that a priority of the people of the Northwest Territories, Mr. Speaker? Anyway, I’d like to ask the Minister of Health and Social Services why is the supplementary health benefits going to be the target of this government’s restraint measures when she’s just said everything is proportionally going up and only targeting a certain group of people? Thank you.
