Mahsi, Mr. Speaker, and mahsi to the Minister for that bit of information. They may have regional positions. But, you know, as to really go into the small communities because they really don't have anybody face-to-face. Health centre nurses are already busy as it is. We really need someone that's specific to this kind of care, and there are people out there that are trained do that, to really help our people. Because, you know, I've had an Elder who went through a really difficult stress because he wasn't aware of the diabetes, you know, the illness and the seriousness of it and there's nobody in the community to talk to on this, and it's a really scary situation for all our small communities.

Mr. Speaker, I noted in my Member's statement the department hasn't updated statistics on diabetes in Northwest Territories for some time. This information could include age groups, male/female, by community, etcetera, etcetera. I just want to note that the Department of Infrastructure, the department I worked with previously, the maintenance department has a -- you know, a maintenance management program, WebWorks, and you can find out from one building all the work orders that were done on that building within the year. And, you know, we should be able to have something so we can identify the number of diabetics in all the different communities. I know there's challenges associated with that but I just wanted to ask the Minister if they would look into a database to track and record chronic diseases, including diabetes. Mahsi.
