Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have another question for the Minister of Health and Social Services, only because I know she felt she didn't get enough --

-- through the last one. Mr. Speaker, I'm happy to serve.
Almost a year ago I brought up the Alberta, NWT Alzheimer's Society and the fact that they wanted to connect better with the GNWT, in particular the department of health. And my question is what type of update can the Minister provide? Because I've looked on our website, and I see very little when I search that collaborative relationship that was supposed to exist. Thank you.
Thank you, Member from Yellowknife Centre. Minister of Health and Social Services.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I had the honour to meet with that group, and when we walked away from that meeting, there was a commitment from my department to work with them and how that we could support them into -- you know, engaging with a lot of our small communities. And so that work is ongoing. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And for the record, I had a delicious meeting with them too. That said, they had said that there would be things -- they gave me a prelude -- maybe not a line by line what happened, but they said there would be ways that the health website would be able to connect and direct people to service supports through the Alberta/NWT Alzheimer's Society. The only thing that points to Alzheimer's, it's a PDF, Mr. Speaker, is a booklet going through Alberta Blue Cross. Can the Minister explain why there's nothing linking the two relationships a year ago said that they would build? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, how we are going to work with the Alberta Alzheimer's Society, NWT/Alberta, I know that there were conversations in sharing information; however, where we are with that, I can't give the Member an update as to the website. I will get back to the Member as to how we plan on putting that information out there or what the collaboration is at this time. So I'll leave it at that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Minister of Health and Social Services. Oral questions. Member from Monfwi.
