Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate -- today I want to ask questions - surprise - to the health Minister, one of my favourite Ministers there. Not the only favourite, but in the top 7 for sure. I was going to say top 8. In top 7, Mr. Speaker.
In my Member's statement, I talked about the way we could improve our health care security as well as potentially cost and credibility in the sense of making sure Northerners are using health care and those who certainly deserve it or qualify for it.
Mr. Speaker, I mentioned BC uses a photograph on their driver's license and also has a health care number on the back. Mr. Speaker, we may not be able to take all the leaps and bounds, but as I say, I'm here to help. So, Mr. Speaker, would the Minister be willing to investigate the options about being able to put a northern citizen's picture on the health care as a first step to ensure we can guarantee the credibility of our cards and our system at large. Thank you.
Thank you, Member from Yellowknife Centre. Minister of Health and Social Services.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I can commit to connecting with my colleagues. I did have a little bit of a one-off conversation in Alberta as they're looking into this as well. But I can reach out to the other jurisdictions and see, like, how it's coming, the pros and cons of it, and how could that potentially be implemented here in the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker -- never mind. Thank you.
Colleagues, please remember this is oral questions. I don't need commentary afterwards. Oral questions. Member from Monfwi.
