Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a whole pile of questions about the Keeping the Circle Strong conference that was held between November 25 and November 26. Since Mr. Pollard is here today and he won't be with us for the rest of the week, and since he is the Minister of Health, I would like to ask him a question.

Last week, on Friday, Dr. Wheeler was introduced as a government spokesperson. He made the comment that FAS is not a social or moral issue, it is a health issue. I would like to ask the Minister of Health, does Dr. Wheeler have it right? Is this the policy of the government, that FAS is a health issue and a health issue alone?
