Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health and Social Services. In the past, Mr. Speaker, we have heard a lot of discussion about the problem of fetal alcohol syndrome and fetal alcohol effects in this House. Many northerners, both in this House and out, have expressed concern about how many young people may be affected by these disorders. However, Mr. Speaker, the symptoms of FAS/FAE-related disorders have much in common with many other kinds of disabilities. My question to the Minister is, is it commonly accepted that teachers or parents can accurately assess whether a child is affected by FAS or FAE and the extent of their disorder?
