Merci, Monsieur le President. I want to thank the mover, the Member for Deh Cho, and the seconder, the Member for Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh, for bringing the motion forward.
I want to acknowledge what I've heard from small community MLAs over my six years as an MLA here in the House and in committee about issues around healthcare in small communities. At the same time, though, I want to recognize the work and initiatives by the department and the staff. I think we are doing some things in these areas. You know, we worked together to get funding for Indigenous patient advocates. I know the department is working on that cultural safety. Change is slow, but I think this motion is another step in making the change that we all want, and I look forward to the response from the other side, from our Cabinet colleagues. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
