Mahsi, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, my questions to the health Minister stem from my Member's statement regarding diabetes.

Canada's framework for diabetes acknowledges a self-reported rate of diabetes among First Nations and Metis adults is, respectfully, 1.9 to 1.5 times that of non-Indigenous adults. And the number rises to 4.7 percent among Inuit.

The report also notes cases of diabetes in Indigenous communities are often more severe than those in the general population. My question is what is the health Minister doing specifically to address the rate of diabetes among Indigenous people in the NWT, especially the Indigenous communities? Mahsi.
