Thank you, Madam Speaker. I have a question I would like to direct to the Minister responsible for Public Services. It deals with a controversial issue that arose this past summer, certainly here in Yellowknife, regarding to the .05 alcohol content in imitations of wine and beer. Not that I have anything against people participating in that, but the problem that arose, Madam Speaker, was that children were able to go into grocery stores and buy these right off the shelf. Parents and school boards were very concerned because the stuff looks like, tastes like and smells like alcohol and has everything in it that the real product has. They were concerned because kids could buy it off the shelf, that this should not be so accessible. I would like to ask the Minister, because this issue was brought to his attention before, what action has been taken to resolve this controversial issue?
