Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise once again as a follow-up on my Member’s statement earlier today on last week’s devastating deadly highway crash north of Fort Providence. Again, our hearts do go out to the families involved.
As in my last question with the Minister of Health and Social Services, my questions will not deal directly with the accident itself as it is still under RCMP investigation. However, they will deal with
the level of first responder care, patient immobilization and highway medical transport in the NWT. My questions today are for the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs.
Can the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs indicate 33 communities in the NWT have proper ambulance or a van ambulance that has all the safety standards to secure, immobilize and transport victims in the event of a highway accident?
