Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, will be supporting the motion with the understanding that we will expand this program throughout the Northwest Territories. It’s pretty hard to elaborate on a program that you can’t see the benefit of because you don’t have it. I think in a lot of our communities we don’t have the luxury of having this program in our communities. The program we have is an elderly person, the family takes care of them day in and day out. They get stressed out. They can’t take care of themselves and the elder. It comes to a point that the health provider will come in and say, okay...

Any general comments regarding the report? If not, Mr. Menicoche, go ahead with your motions.

Mr. Menicoche.

Any general comments to the report? No? Go ahead, Mr. Menicoche.

The motion is in order. To the motion.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That wasn’t too encouraging, the Minister’s last answer there. I find it kind of hard to believe that you’re not going to provide similar services throughout the Northwest Territories for people in the same situations, same status, and yet people are treated differently. I’d like to know, from the Mackenzie Delta riding, when can I see respite care being delivered in the communities in the Mackenzie Delta.

Does committee agree that this concludes Committee Report 4-16(5)?

The motion is in order. To the motion.
