Mahsi, Madam Speaker. Over the past week, there have been a lot of concerns raised about the behaviour of people from the affects of alcohol and in line with the rulings of the court of Alberta and the Supreme Court of Canada. These rulings are dealing with extreme drunkenness and the behaviour caused by that. This is of great concern to residents in the north, in particular to women. I would like to ask the Minister who is responsible for the Status of Women, what

activity is the Minister's department doing to raise this issue with our federal counterparts, so that we can offer protection to the women of the north?
