Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the ability of patients, residents, clients of the Northwest Territories, regardless of where you live, to get to health care facilities is an incredibly important aspect of their being able to maintain health. At the end of the day, public transportation is the responsibility of communities and that includes transportation of seniors, non-seniors, persons with disabilities. When it comes to residents that are actually under our care and control, people who are living in our facilities like our long-term care facilities, we are responsible for transportation of those individuals. We live up to that commitment and we make sure they get to their appointments when they need to get to their appointments and get to other public events when necessary. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
