Qujannamiik uqaqtittiji. On January 6, the Government of Nunavut announced it would limit testing to preserve tests only for health care workers.

Can the minister confirm more than 155,000 tests will be sent to Nunavut so that any resident requiring the test will be able to take it? Qujannamiik.

Uqaqtittiji, I appreciated the Minister of Health agreeing today that we cannot fight what we cannot measure. In Nunavut, out of the 25 communities, there is only one community equipped with lab technicians. Back in November, of the said eight lab technicians, five had resigned. Also, in January, the Government of Nunavut had decided to ration its testing for COVID-19 to only health care providers in Nunavut. Does the member for St. Albert—Edmonton not agree that Nunavut residents deserve to have access to rapid tests? Qujannamiik.
