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...

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? How come these filters weren’t ready for the communities to be put in, so they wouldn’t have such an advisory given under the health centre? Thank...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my statement today has to deal with the announcement that Mr. Miltenberger announced yesterday in terms of Disability Awareness Week. I’d like to say that I fully support the initiative that the Minister has taken this government in terms of creating awareness for people in the Northwest Territories during this week to June the 3rd, the theme for living, working, and staying together, including people with disabilities.

Mr. Speaker, this issue here is very close to my heart as my grandfather was disabled in a wheelchair. I’d like to ask this government...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health and Social Services.

What is the number of people with disabilities in the Sahtu region?

What services are in place to serve the people with disabilities?

How are people with disabilities in the Sahtu qualified to meet once a year? Who can provide them with funding to set up a Sahtu disabilities committee?

What other departments with the government support people with disabilities in the Sahtu?

What or who is leading the final decision on the funding on the Community Outreach Program?

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I want to say, listening to the Sir John choir that was here, that was beautiful music. I thought I was in heaven. Then I heard the bells over there. Gee, I must be really in heaven. It was an awesome job. Mr. Speaker, I want to say it was awesome by the hidden talent in the Northwest Territories. It reminds me of my statement today in terms of what I am going to say about the residential school for the Northwest Territories.

This government has made history in terms of having the first and being the only jurisdiction in Canada to recognize and...
