Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you. Moving on to page 8-27, supplementary health programs, operations expenditure summary, $26.730 million. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. I’ll now go to Ms. Bisaro. You were on the list to speak to this page on Friday.

Great, thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Some discussion going on here about what page we’re on. I know I had called Health and Social Services, directive, active positions, information item. Agreed?

If somebody’s birthday was on January 15th and the applications for renewal of health care cards had not gone out, and with the backlog and number of cards that were not processed right away, is the Minister saying that if you’re an NWT resident, and you have an NWT health care card, and you show up for service, that you are not going to be provided that service during this transition phase into a new system?

Thank you, Minister Beaulieu. Ms. DeLancey.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services and in follow-up to my Member’s statement today. Question number one: How far behind are we on issuing new health care cards to residents who have applied for them? How many applications are in limbo at this time?

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Moving on. Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Mr. Beaulieu.
