Thank you. Moving on with questions I have Mr. Moses.

Thank you, Minister Beaulieu. Ms. DeLancey.

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Ms. DeLancey.

Thank you, Ms. Mathison. Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Again, welcome to the Minister and the health team here.

I’ve got two broad topics within the area of the directorate here. I’ll start with the first one here. Just to set the lay of the land to the question, we’ve got three health boards that have been dissolved over the years that are run by public administrators. That’s Stanton, Hay River and Inuvik. What’s interesting is that through our budget dialogues, the back and forth that I have seen in the last 16 months, there have been many areas where we talked about barriers to accountability when it comes to the delivery...

Thank you, I appreciate the Minister’s response, but again, I want to focus my questions and response to the medical travel and the concerns the residents have. So a medical travel review has been promised for years now. What assurances can the Minister of Health and Social Services offer and to the people of the Northwest Territories that we will see an improved and more efficient service and travel policy in the life of the 17th Assembly? Thank you.
