Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Does committee agree?

Bill as a whole.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Mr. Bromley is proposing we take a break. Let’s do that. Let’s say let’s take 10 or 15 minutes and we’ll reconvene then. Thank you.

---SHORT RECESS

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That education that is provided to patients who are diagnosed with diabetes, I’m going to ask the Minister if he is familiar with the concept that came out through previous reports to Health and Social Service on the concept of centres of excellence for different types of activities within the health care system.

With this increase in the incidence of diabetes, has any thought been given to a centre of excellence for the education and treatment of diabetes in the Northwest Territories and perhaps could he consider that the Hay River hospital that’s going to be soon moved...

The results of the vote are in favour of the motion, 6; opposed, 11. The motion is defeated.

---Defeated

To the schedule as amended.

Thank you, Minister Lafferty. To the motion. Mr. Beaulieu.

Mr. Speaker, how do our statistics on the incidence of diabetes and pre-diabetes compare to other jurisdictions in Canada? Thank you.

Question is being called. Can we have a recorded vote? All those in favour of the amendment to the motion, please stand.

Mr. Lafferty.

I would like to call Committee of the Whole to order. There are a number of items before committee. What is the wish of the committee today? Ms. Bisaro.
