Just before we leave the community services, the Minister may be aware of the increase of oil and gas activities and the justice stats. They have been increasing. Clearly, that is going to happen.
I want to ask the Minister what type of response he is going to plan for the Sahtu in terms of the alcohol use, possibly family violence, that show the Minister the increase in the crime stats related to alcohol. It’s going up in all the five communities. I want to know how we are going to support our health centres, our nurses. We do need additional staff, as the other Ministers have identified, certain personnel to be into the Sahtu. I heard from the Minister the other day that at that time they weren’t concerned about any type of additional support. I would ask the Minister to reconsider and re-evaluate the situation in our region. It’s going to get busy. So far we have seen the criminal stats that
say it’s going to get busier. So what do we do? Thank you.
