Thank you to the Minister for his response. I’m sure he’s hearing from MLAs who have constituents with ideas to contribute.
Medical travel insurance for people travelling outside the Territories has been rightly suggested for NWT residents who travel. The issue of SFA, Student Financial Assistance, sponsoring students possibly needing such extra coverage, which could possibly include medical travel support for parents when appropriate, seems to me a special case that could be covered under a group insurance plan included in SFA for sponsored students.
As the Minister responsible for social programs, Health and Social Services, is this idea of group insurance by SFA for NWT students in this situation something he would investigate and consider? Thank you.
