Thank you, not only as the Minister of Health and Social Services but as his colleague and what I consider to be his friend, I would not want to do anything to raise his heart rate or temperature.

Seriously, on the social worker situation, the last I was aware of it from our visits, there were some personal things like, the Member mentioned housing, but I believe one of the workers were in a relationship with somebody in Norman Wells. We live in a small town where personal backgrounds could determine where one who’s hired could decide to leave and such. What I would like to do is, I haven’t had the update on that social worker situation in Sahtu since our visit. I believe we did get back to the Member on that information but I don’t have the most recent update. I will undertake to look at that because I haven’t had that brought up to me in the last while. The positions are there. I know all authorities try their hardest to keep the positions occupied and to have the people on the ground as much as possible. Sometimes just life predetermines some of the decisions of our workers, which we need to respect as well.
