What I am hoping from this Minister is saying yes, let’s look at some out-of-the-box type of solutions. I’m really happy the Minister talked about possibly income support. Can the Minister sit down with the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment to say listen, we have an issue here because of the bureaucracy, because of the timetable, we just aren’t able to meet the current needs right now of what’s happening. The issue is medical escorts that need to be compensated by people in the communities. It’s okay here in Yellowknife, you can drive your car and head over there, but from the small communities you’re travelling away from your family, you have family obligations, you have children, you have bills. They have to get paid.

I like what the Minister said. Can we do that in the interim to look at this? We need to help our people now. The government is here to help them, we get the money to help them. Can we help them in this area so that there is a less stressful burden on the people who are already helping people with medical escorts? That’s what I’m looking for from this government. We can deal with the letter writing later on, but let’s just get some help right now.
