Request a specific mitigation strategy regarding the Mary Berglund Community Health Centre Hub (MBCHCH), citing the text's admission that the facility is 'operating near capacity and does not have space to dedicate to additional service provision.'
Strategic Rationale
Melgund residents depend on regional centers for primary healthcare. The Initial Project Description explicitly states the Ignace hub cannot handle more volume. Without a binding plan to provide on-site worker healthcare (independent of the public system), the influx of project personnel will displace local residents and exacerbate existing service gaps. This is an opportunity for the Proponent to commit to independent health infrastructure to avoid burdening the public system and ensure Melgund residents retain access to care.
