Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I didn't really have any comments. But I guess listening to my colleagues and reflecting on, you know, some of the people I know, some of the things that have happened in the past. You know, my own sister, for instance, she was diagnosed with cancer at the last minute after a few years of going to doctors and, you know, and passed away, you know, two months after that. So, you know, the issues here are, you know, small communities and even regional centres and whatever, but I think it comes down to, you know, Indigenous peoples.

You know, we have -- like, there's a lack of doctors, lack of nurses. We have restrictive policies. We see misdiagnoses. We have -- you know, there's a lack of culturally appropriate services, lack of understanding of Indigenous peoples. You know, there is some racism as well. And all this affects the way, you know, medicine and health is dispensed. And I think that, you know, it's time that we took a hard look at how we're -- you know, how we're treating and, you know, the people of the Northwest Territories when it comes to health because, you know, like I've always said we've got one life to live, and I think it's very important that we do everything we can, everything in our power, to make sure that every person is treated with respect and gets the help they need.

Again, you know, this government is in charge of health. This is where the dollars come. People have nowhere else to turn. And, you know, when they start coming to us, you know they're lost. You know that we're probably their last -- you know, their last hope for some type of help. So, you know, I support -- and therefore I support this motion. And, you know, I think we all see that there's, you know, pitfalls and downfalls within health care for Indigenous peoples. But there's pitfalls and downfalls in all areas. And this is one of them. And this is an important one because, again, it's a matter of life and death. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
