MR. SPEAKER: The
hon. the Member for Port de Grave.
MR. BUTLER:
Thank you very much, Mr.
Speaker.
I stand today, again, to
present a petition on behalf of the residents of the
Conception Bay North and Trinity Bay area with regard to
the long-term care facility for that area.
Mr. Speaker, it is a
known fact that this government has suggested that there
should be a new long-term care facility for the
Conception Bay North area. There were two areas in the
Province, Corner Brook and Conception Bay North, that
were high on the priority list. Since that time there
have been three or four other facilities built, Mr.
Speaker.
The residents of the area
are saying that where those facilities are in a
dilapidated state and the professionals in the area are
also recommending that there would be a new facility for
that area, I call upon the hon. members for that area,
three members who are members of the Cabinet and a
couple of the local MHAs who are not in the Cabinet at
this time – I am calling upon the Premier now, a good,
compassionate individual. The Premier always listens to
the concerns of the people of this Province and places
them first and foremost.
SOME HON. MEMBERS: Oh,
oh!
MR. SPEAKER: Order,
please!
MR. BUTLER: Mr.
Speaker, I am calling upon the Premier that he would
reconsider for this coming year for the budget, that
they would give reconsideration to the proposal that a
long-term care facility would be recommended for the
Conception Bay North area.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. |
