Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In March of 2011, in a report from the office of the Auditor General for Canada to the Northwest Territories Legislative Assembly, the OAG staff noted the following, “little information is recorded on the performance of the health care system”. Sadly, Mr. Speaker, this has not improved since. We have seen a steady stream of failed commitment upon failed commitment in our inability to monitor and report what I like to call basic health outcomes. As a consequence, our ability to monitor performance on a national basis is extremely hampered and limits our opportunity to be tested on national trends or concerns.

My questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services.

Can the Minister inform the House, when can we expect to see these system-wide performance indicators as was promised in this House almost four years ago? Thank you.
