I want to revisit the issue of governance. I mentioned it in my general comments. I am concerned. I know the Minister responded and he pretty much gave a summary of what exists where, but I want to say, again, that I am concerned that there’s not much opportunity for the residents of Yellowknife to have input into their hospital. I know it’s a territorial hospital, but it’s the hospital that Yellowknife residents use. The Primary Care Clinic is a good measure, absolutely, but the running of the hospital, Yellowknifer’s tend to take a bit of ownership of that hospital. It’s been our hospital for a very long time. I am somewhat concerned that there’s no intent, it doesn’t sound like, on the part of the department to get beyond having a public administrator for that facility. I am concerned that there doesn’t seem to be much opportunity for input from either Yellowknife Members from the House or from Yellowknife residents. There’s no, sort of, formal opportunities, I don’t think, for input into the hospital and how it works, and plans for the future and just all those things. I guess I would like to know from the Minister if, as he stated, there’s a PA at the hospital. Is that’s what’s going to be there for the foreseeable future or are there other plans to provide something different? Thank you.
