Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Health. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I commented on communication that I received from the Fort Smith Society for Disabled Persons regarding the issue of mercy killing. I know, Mr. Speaker, that many would state that this is a moral issue. However, regardless of each individual's own feelings and beliefs, it is something we should have discussions on at the territorial level. I would like to ask the Minister of Health if she can indicate this government's current stand regarding decisions not to prolong life through extended medical treatment and regarding physician-assisted suicides as it pertains to severely disabled people in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
