The ads ask people to come to the website to give their comments which, incidentally, seems to be the preferred method of public consultation for this government now. In these expensive ads MLAs are frequently featured and touted as supporters of improvements to the NWT health care system. I have yet to meet any MLA or anybody who isn’t.
On what basis has the Minister concluded that the public would benefit more from the tens of thousands spent monthly on colour advertising featuring MLAs saying they support improvements to health delivery rather than actual expenditures on more or better health delivery?
