Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you for the question. What I can say is that community health nurses, nurse practitioners, and family physicians all provide diabetes care, and it is available in every community in the Northwest Territories. There is also specialized support that is available at Stanton from internal medicine specialists who are located here in Yellowknife.

It is very important to us as a department that we ensure that all primary care providers, so that would be community health nurses, nurse practitioners and so on, have strong core skills to provide appropriate care to diabetics. Obviously, this is a major disease in our territory and very debilitating. We want to make sure that people have access to excellent care wherever they live.

There is a clinic that takes in people who are newly diagnosed with diabetes to try and help them understand their condition and how to manage it. This is located in Edmonton, and it is an Indigenous program. It presents a culturally safe situation but, of course, enrolment is down because people don't want to go to Edmonton during COVID. There is a delay in sending people down to the special clinic for those who are newly diagnosed, but that doesn't take away from the fact that care is available to them in every community here. Thank you.
