Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I believe that we need to raise the awareness of the issues that we can become accustomed to that plague our people in the Northwest Territories. I think we need to bring those out to the front and get people thinking, talking and working at all levels to address those needs. With respect to that, we do see some territorial-wide campaigns that are initiated by the various departments. I think of such things as some of the advertising that takes place on television and radio with respect to HIV, the recent video on FAS/FAE and anti-smoking advertising which I assume is partially funded by the Department of Health and Social Services. I have heard Members of this House asking for such a broad-based campaign with respect to breast cancer screening. Could the Minister identify for me what some of those territorial-wide initiatives and priorities are that the department is working on right now? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
