Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to direct my question to the Minister of Social Services. Earlier I commented on the very positive steps that have been taken within the Department of Social Services to link the funding of alcohol and drug projects to counsellor sobriety. I believe this policy has been successful in providing clients in communities with effective role-modelling and has placed the Northwest Territories in a leadership role in combatting alcohol and drug abuse. I note that this policy has received support from the board of management of the alcohol and drug services, the Deh Cho Regional Council and tribal council and from many other individuals and organizations concerned with the health and welfare of our communities. Can the Minister of Social Services inform the House whether the same requirements for alcohol and drug workers' sobriety will be included in the 1993-94 contribution agreement with the alcohol and drug projects across the Northwest Territories?
