Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to direct my question to the Minister of Social Services. Mr. Speaker and honourable Members will remember that on February 13, 1992, I tabled Tabled Document 3-12(2) so that the House would be aware of the resolution passed by the Deh Cho Regional Council which supports the policy respecting the sobriety of alcohol and drug workers.
Some unwarranted criticism of this policy originally came from officials with provincial alcohol and drug administrations in southern Canada. Many of these officials have never been to the Northwest Territories. I realize that senior officials in the department's alcohol and drug division, as well as the community mental health services division, meet regularly with their counterparts in southern Canada. Will the Minister direct his officials to make a report to other alcohol and drug organizations about the success of this important policy? Thank you.
