Mr. Speaker, I fully recognize that there is no directive stopping the board members, but the point I am trying to make to the Minister is the board has yet to meet. It has never met since last November. The Minister should know that the board of management for alcohol and drug services does much more that just review funding applications. It is a source of information for the Minister about what is happening in terms of alcohol and drug abuse in regions represented by the board. It provides long-range strategic planning, and it co-ordinates program evaluation, and most importantly, it balances out the Yellowknife perspective which sometimes is dominated by the senior administration within the Social Services department. Is it now the Minister's policy that this community input is unnecessary for the administration of our alcohol and drug projects?
