Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’m going to keep the Minister of Health and Social Services jumping up and down from sitting to standing and ask him some questions.
I spoke about the need for a Health Information Act in my statement, and I’d like to ask the Minister, considering that we are increasingly using electronic medical records within the NWT, and considering we have an increasing number of complaints around the privacy of patients’ info regarding medical records, whether or not… I feel that this government does not recognize the importance of adopting legislation to protect residents’ privacy relative to health records. I’d like to ask the Minister what priority does a Health Information Act have in the department’s legislative agenda.
