Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Safety and Public Services. Further to Mr. Miltenberger's questions, I was wondering if the Minister had considered ... I know that there is a lot of concern for fetal alcohol syndrome and fetal alcohol effect and I was wondering if the Minister would consider making it illegal for pregnant women to drink. I know that the Dene Nation had passed a motion supporting this initiative a year or so ago. I was just wondering if the Minister has considered this.

The Speaker Samuel Gargan

The Minister of Safety and Public Services, Mr. Antoine.

him at a later time. Thank you.
