Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Social Services. Mr. Speaker, when the health transfer took place in 1988 it was decided the management of alcohol and drug services required extensive policy input. At the time, I believe a good group of people were appointed to form a board of management for alcohol and drug services. For several years the board provided excellent advice on funding allocations and made sound policy decisions about needed programs to address alcohol and drugs. However, Mr. Speaker, for the past year the board has been treated badly by the department. Meetings have not been scheduled and appointments have not been kept current. There have even been some discussion that certain departmental officials in Yellowknife may be seeking to dissolve this important board. I would like to ask the Minister, can she advise this House as to the current status of the board of management for the alcohol and drug services board? Thank you.
