Thank you. I will raise my voice in the House. I don’t have to? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the $500 million has been committed. Residential school money is out, or shortly will be coming out. The communities want drug and alcohol programs in their communities. Tl'oondih has as good program in Fort McPherson. There's good programs down the Mackenzie Valley. Let's get the programs into communities right now. Let's not do any more consultation. Get the programs in there. There's workers that need the help and their families need help, so let's not do any more consultation. Get the programs in the communities. So I'll ask the Minister...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I spoke about the drug and alcohol programs in the Northwest Territories and I want to ask the Minister of Health and Social Services, has his department reviewed the situation of the drug and alcohol treatment programs and would his department consider a project-by-project of treatment programs on the land versus the residential units that he has now in the Territories? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’m going to also support this motion here and I look forward to the Department of Justice in terms of how they’re going to roll this out into the communities. I had several constituents of mine be turned away because of previous criminal records that were nine years old, and to have these members that are now changing their way of life and actually making some valuable contributions to these land claim boards or other type of boards that we advertise through the government, sometimes their criminal convictions hurts them and they’re not considered to sit on several...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions today are directed to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, the Honourable Michael McLeod. I just received notice that the community of Tulita is on water advisory notice and the water advisory has many facets, however one of the key indicators are the filters in the water plan system. Are there any backup filter systems in the small communities who may get these water advisory notices?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That’s good government, Mr. Speaker, I want to ask the Minister of Municipal Affairs, is the department willing to look at these filter systems? Is it the only one in the Northwest Territories or are there a number of filter systems like this in other communities to ensure that we have additional supplies of filters in our communities rather than rely on the old backup system. Sometimes that backup system needs major repair. Again, I want to ask the Minister in terms of an action plan that would be satisfactory to the people in Tulita. Thank you.

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.
