Thank you, Mr. Chair. This is not necessarily a question, but a note in observation to the increase as mentioned on the community programs on 177. I clearly hear the Minister's comments here recently. When I look back at healthcare progress and the delivery, I totally agree that we have made a lot of progress in that area.
As you know, in a couple of my communities back home, there has been quite an extensive amount of outburst from the youth community. As one of the front-line workers in receiving most of the phone calls, I have seen a lot of assistance from this department in the whole area of rehabilitation and reconciliation and individuals seeking medical care as well as sobriety assistance.
We have a system in place here with the bilaterals, with our land claim process, in Cabinet, so that is a venue for enhancing delivery of programs and, also, taking into account the new health facility in Norman Wells, as well as the new establishment of the Regional Wellness Council, an organization to improve delivery of healthcare in our communities in that region.
As a matter of fact, I am travelling home tomorrow, and I got the invitation to attend the evening session for the Renewable Resources Council tomorrow evening, which I am looking forward to, because I have seen progress made in that area of communication, which gives me confidence there.
There are a number of programs that I like here, and I see access to resources to assist in the mitigation of some of the social problems that we are having our youth and elders experiencing. I am quite satisfied with this summary. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
