Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, I do feel the same, and I do support the motion as well. And I know that it is about time, Mr. Speaker, that we start paying attention to small communities, give them some recognition that they do lack lot of services, especially in health care. It needs attention. It needs to be improved.
We have some communities with no nurses or some do not have any health centre. So that needs to be -- so we need to recognize those communities as well. There are people living in those communities. And people that are living in the communities are mostly Indigenous. So that's what I do support and we do need -- we need to do something about it, Mr. Speaker.
And as a result of the lack of health care, a lot of services that we're lacking in the communities, a lot of community members are moving away.
For example, dialysis. We have some community members that are relocating from their community, wherever they are from, maybe from Tuk, from Gameti, whenever, they are relocating to Yellowknife to have access to that dialysis machine. And these people are moving away from their family, from their home, from their culture, their tradition, their language. I mean, that's another burden on these people who are not used to those lifestyle.
So for that reason, I really do support, and I'll tell you that, too, I do agree. Tylenol are overprescribed in many of the communities. And I also do have some community members, Tylenol could not fix the problem that they were going through. By the time they paid their own way to get to Yellowknife, it was too late. They already had stage 4 cancer.
So things like this are happening too often. So I think that it is about time that we have lot of services. We need to improve the services in the healthcare system, in healthcare system in the communities.
I cannot stress it enough that we need to do more with the small communities. If not, more of those community members are going to move to Yellowknife and they are going to become your responsibilities, the Yellowknife MLAs. So are you guys ready to receive them? If not, then we need to do something about the small community healthcare system. Thank you.
