Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I too will get up in support of the motion.

This motion is to address the healthcare deficiency in small communities; the access to doctors, specialists must be addressed.

Personally I've always addressed each concern brought to my attention from my own constituents to the Minister's office. I just want to mention that 99 percent of the answers, in the replies, have always been positive. And I want to thank the Office of Health and Social Services for that.

The Indigenous file for small communities is extremely important. And the leaders at all the former meetings, in my 14 years as chief of Salt River, have always brought this to the table, especially at the Dene Nation meetings and Metis Nation or any of those. And I want to thank MLA Bonnetrouge for this motion. And I know it's very dear to our heart. And for that reason, I will be supporting the motion. Thank you.
