Mr. Speaker, now that the Minister of Health has recovered from all his questions, I have a few more. He is well-informed about the situation of a constituent of mine who has ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease. Recently, people in Yellowknife held a major fundraiser to meet his expenses, now that his disease has progressed where he needs a lot of different kinds of support.
He is not eligible for public support for his condition because it's not listed in our medical health insurance program. My question for the Minister is whether he can explain how it's possible that such a serious and not completely uncommon condition could not be eligible for treatment?
