Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, my question is to the Minister of Health and Social Services. In my Member's statement today, Madam Speaker, I pointed out that there is a crisis situation developing with family violence workers across the Northwest Territories. These individuals that are front line are tackling the issue of family violence and carry out work that is very stressful and, at times, dangerous. They are paid up to 40 or 50 per cent less than government workers in similar types of positions and don't have any benefits. Given this government's commitment to zero tolerance for violence, what action is the Minister prepared to take to address this issue?
