Hello? Hello?

Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the Minister's to not consult…

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the Minister's offer in terms of offering some suggestions to proposals. He's being quite open about receiving them. I want to know now the next steps in terms of advising the stakeholders. It seems to me, Mr. Speaker, that during the Joint Review Panel hearings that communities have indicated that alcohol and drug treatment is the number one issue. We heard it over and over again. So I'm trying to understand why do another community consultation with the stakeholders? We know what it is. We read in the newspaper on a weekly basis on...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this summer, I guess we are going for a little walk in the mountains. We’ll see what happens in the seven days. I appreciate the Minister’s full support on this and getting some recognition and support. Will the Minister be able to come to the Sahtu and to the Canol heritage summer tour, so his physical presence, not just by his words, and have him show up during the summer in Norman Wells?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister inform the people in Tulita when they will be able to get these filters and where will these filters come from? Why didn’t they have the filters in place for such an emergency as this? Thank God for the old backup system in Tulita.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, whenever MLAs go into small communities, the interactions with residents always turn into discussions on the state of alcohol and drug treatment in the Northwest Territories. It’s also the number one issue being brought forward in written submissions to the JR Panel on the Mackenzie gas pipeline hearings. Mr. Speaker, people are divided on just what should be done to improve alcohol and drug programming in the Northwest Territories. Some believe there needs to be regional residential treatment centres and some residents believe that there is need to...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, thank God for the old backup system, I guess. People in our communities have been using this water thousands of years. I don’t know why all of a sudden we have this boil water system. Anyhow, I want to ask the Minister, in terms of these filters in our water plant system, why are they so elaborate to have to order them from outside of Canada? It must cost quite a bit of dollars. Does the community of Tulita or hamlets that have a similar plant system, are they adequately financed to get this filter system and are they checked on a regular basis? There...
