Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I may not be a small community MLA but what I am is an MLA that listens. And as a result, I do speak with a lot of people from across this territory who share with me their stories. And oftentimes I'm told that they've been told to come to me because their own Member doesn't listen to them. And as a result, I've now find myself in a situation where because I care so much about the people in this territory that I'm struggling to deal with the stories that I'm hearing and the trauma that I'm hearing our people are experiencing on a daily basis.

And when it comes to medical care and health care, there's nothing scarier in the world than facing a medical crisis and it being unknown.

Mr. Speaker, I've been in that situation time and again, and I'm currently waiting in that situation. However, I can't imagine now being someone from a small community and being turned away when I come to say something isn't right and I don't feel well.

So Mr. Speaker, I've stood up here before to stand in support of my small community colleagues. I will stand up here again today. As they spoke, I sat here and nodded along. Everything that they've said, I feel in my heart. I'm sure the rest that continue on to speak after me, I will feel the same way. I couldn't support this motion more, and I thank my colleague for bringing it forward. Thank you.
