Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to bring up a very important issue today. I‘d like the constituents of the Northwest Territories to know there’s a lack of coverage when you’re outside of the Northwest Territories travelling in Canada. I think most people feel when they travel to the U.S., they buy insurance, they cover health insurance. Most people are covered when they’re travelling outside of Canada, they take that precaution.

We have had constituents that have road accidents, have to get an ambulance, then maybe a medevac into Edmonton. Some of those scenarios are out there. That cost of that ambulance and that medevac becomes the responsibility of the individual. We need to get it out to the public that they need to buy insurance, travel insurance, medical travel insurance while they are in Canada. Your medical coverage will be covered from the Northwest Territories but that travel portion is not being covered.

We’ve had a couple of scenarios in Hay River, very costly for individuals. We need to get that out there, it is of grave concern.

I am going to have questions for the Minister of Health, how we are getting that information out there.

The other issue is that when you are travelling in Canada, you need to carry your NWT health care card. Thank you.
