Thank you, Mr. Speaker This morning, I spoke about the breast cancer problems that we have here in the Northwest Territories. Last year this question was brought up many times and we asked the government to look into this matter. My question will be directed to the Minister of Health. Mr. Ng, We asked that an information program be started and that perhaps pamphlets that are produced in other jurisdictions be duplicated here for the Northwest Territories and put into the aboriginal languages. Breast cancer is a hidden disease and deaths are happening throughout the territories possibly as we speak, Mr. Speaker. This is the only jurisdiction in Canada without a screening program. I wonder if the Minister could address the question again. Is he prepared to look at providing an information program as a start for the Northwest Territories?
