Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today my questions will be for the Minister of Health and Social Services.

Once those regulations will come into effect, what this means is residents in that province will be permitted to spend up to seven months outside of their province and still maintain their...

No further questions.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have the pleasure and honour today to speak about our Pages who provide excellent, courteous services throughout session. In particular, I’d like to acknowledge the many Pages from Range Lake constituency who are with us during this sitting.

We’re hearing numbers from the Minister of $20 million investment in the future, but we’re talking a much more larger project than that moving forward.

I have grave concerns myself as to what are we going to do in the interim. We’ve heard the word “flagship,” and I believe it is our flagship in our delivery of premier health care services in the Northwest Territories.

That said, that...

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. For that we’ll go to the ITI Minister, Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Mr. Miltenberger.
