Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Recognizing that new Ministers have been sworn in publicly by the Commissioner and that their portfolio assignments have been announced to the public and this House, and recognizing that this may be the last opportunity to ask questions, I would like to appeal to the Government Leader to allow me to ask a question to the Minister of Social Services on a matter which is not of a highly technical nature nor unknown to the honourable Member. I would like to ask the new Minister of Social Services if she is committed to the present government policy of requiring all community alcohol and drug projects in the Northwest Territories to commit to the so-called "abstinence clause" as a condition of receiving contributions from the Department of Social Services.
