Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions today are for the Minister of Health and Social Services getting back to my Member’s statement where I talked again about the closure of the Edmonton City Centre Airport.
There’s been one runway closed there, the one that had instrumentation available. Now when bad weather takes place in Edmonton, medevac flights from the Northwest Territories are being diverted to the International Airport. I’m aware of one incident where a medevac patient spent two hours awaiting ground ambulance transport into the emergency room in the city of Edmonton. I’d like to ask the Minister how that’s possible that a medevac patient from the Northwest Territories could wait two hours at the International Airport for transport into the city.
