Then, in the Yukon, the First Nations health programs promote the provision of quality culturally sensitive holistic health care to Aboriginal people by providing social and spiritual support as well as access to traditional food, medicine and healing practices.
I am pleased to hear that the Department of Health and Social Services is supportive of the concept and has identified and set aside land at the Stanton Territorial Hospital. Regretfully, an Aboriginal wellness centre was never included in the Stanton Renewal Project. But with political will, no army can stop us from including it in the plan. We must find a
way to provide funding for a business plan and get this facility on our books and into the Stanton Renewal Project before we complete it in five years’ time.
I will have questions for the Minister of Health and Social Services during question period. Thank you.
