I know everything looks good when it's written on paper, and in this situation, that's all it is. I spoke to the nurse practitioner that saw me that day, and they said that they don't have a program for diabetics in the health centres in my community. I would really like the Minister to have her department really look into the situation, maybe firsthand.
Mr. Speaker, the lives of our diabetic residents lay in the balance of effective diabetes treatment programs. We have to give it the weight it so deserves to ensure good positive health outcomes for our people, especially the people in the smaller communities and isolated communities. Can the Minister commit to provide the resources to ensure an effective diabetes program for all of the small communities of the Northwest Territories, especially in Fort Providence?
