Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to thank the mover and the seconder of this motion for bringing it forward. I spoke to this issue in the House last week. Basically I think it is unacceptable that in the year 2014, with a budget of this government of over $1.6 billion, with office towers full of bureaucrats here in the headquarters that we cannot find the money or the creativity to find a way to put health care professionals and policing services into these small communities. It’s not acceptable anymore. We have to find a solution. We must prioritize our agenda and our initiatives. This must be a priority.

So, I support this motion. This is not like southwestern Ontario where you come to a town every three kilometres. This is the Northwest Territories where there are great expanses of distances between communities and in those communities are people who need protection and who need quick and responsive health care. So, I will be in support of the motion. Thank you.
