Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Sometimes the Minister and some of the Ministers have gone to the Sahtu to realize what it’s like to live in the small communities. We can talk about it, but once you get into the small communities, then you really understand, because not everything is in books and written down; you have to experience it. So going into Colville Lake or Tsiigehtchic or Wrigley, the Minister then understands what people have to do on a 24/7 basis.
I want to ask the Minister again, we are talking about a $700 million business case to bring the hydro down south. Let’s look at our folks and look at serving our people first. Let’s put a business case together. You can do it. I know it can be done. That’s why we have you guys over there to put something like this to give us safety and security in our communities and to go back and say for another year we still have nine communities without nurses. I want to ask the Minister, with this commitment within the life of this government, put a nurse in our communities. That’s what we’re asking for. Look at the model and change the model.
I want to ask the Minister, will he do this for the communities that do not have nurses today as we stand here?
