Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I do support -- I support this motion as well. The health care system in the NWT, especially in small communities, needs major improvements. Mr. Speaker, we want living in the small communities -- we want Cadillac services. We've been living with the Ford Focus services for a long time, you know, like, I mean, in the process -- in the process, our people are not getting the treatment they deserve. Some of our people are getting more sicker or misdiagnosed, you know, and we heard so many stories about medical travel too as well, you know, and the problem that it has on our vulnerables and those living with challenges. We heard of their experience. So we need to improve our services, especially in small communities, because we don't even have a medical doctor. Some patients, they wait long to see medical doctors. I mean, in Tlicho region, we're very fortunate because we have a physician that goes to our community, to our other Tlicho communities, but other communities, they don't have that advantage. So this I do support, and I feel for a lot of people living in the small communities that do get missed, a lot of misdiagnosis. We heard from other people about -- some people they have to pay their own way to Yellowknife to get the Cadillac services, which in small communities we lack that. And by the time they get here, for many it's too late. So for that reason, I do support this motion.

And I do support and encourage for more young, Indigenous to get into the health care field. And I hope that -- I know that will help with the recruitment and retention. Our people will stay in our community to deal with our problems with our issues and language, our culture, is not going to be a barrier. If we bring in outside people, there's going to be challenges for them. So I think we need to start focus on training, educating our young people and promoting them, you know, to take nurses and all the other professional fields. Thank you.
