I'm going to interrupt you. I was looking for an answer on how you're going to make it better. You pointed to some of the areas. I appreciate that.
I recently had a friend who had cancer and was very sick. He was sent to Edmonton by air ambulance from Yellowknife. The diagnosis was terminal cancer, and he was then told to travel back on commercial aircraft. He didn't have his shoes or a jacket, because he was medevaced there. We need to be more sensitive when it comes to dealing with people who are so sick that they are brought in on an air ambulance and can barely walk. It was really embarrassing to have to try to find a way to explain that or talk about that.
One of the key ways to improve the medical escorts element is to make the non-insured health benefit more culturally appropriate. In my riding, we have residents and elders in small communities who don't speak English, and a lot of them can't eat or refuse to eat hospital food or western food. They feel very uncomfortable just leaving their community to go to Yellowknife, for example, never mind going south to larger centres like Edmonton.
In what ways is the government able to make NIHB more culturally appropriate?
