I’m disappointed that the Minister is not aware of the funding regimes between the NWT and other Canadian jurisdictions on Autism Spectrum Disorder.
If he’s not aware of it, would he direct the Department of Health and Social Services to review this issue that’s confronting the population of the NWT? Would he make an effort to ensure the public that this matter on Autism Spectrum Disorder will become a priority with the department, and that at some point he’ll report back to the House that a specific amount of funding will be allocated for this effort?
