Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, would like to recognize Mr. Tony Whitford, but for one more accolade. He’s actually a gifted auctioneer and on behalf of the Yellowknife Community Foundation he’s raised thousands of dollars this past weekend for a lot of needy people and a lot of needy organizations around Yellowknife and the surrounding area.

Thank you. Again I thank the Minister for his comments, but at what point can we expect to have a full risk matrix for the Inuvik-Tuk highway and will this critical piece, which is an important piece I think for the Members and the people of the Northwest Territories to have, will we get this information and will it be available before we get past that point of no return when it comes to proper funding?

Department total, Public Works and Services, capital investment expenditures, not previously authorized, negative $400,000.

Thank you, Mr. Nadli. To the motion. Mr. Moses.

Mr. Speaker, I seek unanimous consent to go back to item 7, oral questions.

---Unanimous consent granted

Thank you, Minister Ramsay. Minister Miltenberger.

Department total, not previously authorized, $400,000.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. To the motion, Mrs. Groenewegen.

Again I appreciate the Minister’s response on that. Can the Minister or his department give some idea of the timelines when these regulations might be altered or amended so that we can gather information throughout the Territories? As I said, this is not just isolated to urban Northwest Territories; I believe this issue is prevalent everywhere. Having an understanding of the timeline would definitely help prepare, with respect to addictions.

Thank you, Minister Miltenberger. Ms. Bisaro.
