Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have to make this one worthwhile then, eh? Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think I only received one answer from the three that I gave there. Mr. Speaker, we are all aware of the costs associated with environmental cleanup. Was there discussion with the communities as to whose responsibility such a cost would be in the event that there would be a requirement for environmental cleanup? I would draw the Minister's attention to one particular environmental cleanup that had to take place here in the city of Yellowknife, where one particular lot has spent, to date, over one million dollars just cleaning the results of spills and leakage from fuel tanks. So the question to the Minister is, has there been any discussion with communities as to who is responsible for the liability for such an event? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I understand that this issue is an ongoing discussion with the communities and I will have to
get back to the Member with more detail when I get it from my department. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question will go to the Minister responsible for Health and Social Services. Once again, on the issue of fetal alcohol effects and fetal alcohol syndrome, can the Minister make us aware in this House what funding has been put towards FAE/FAS? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we are speaking of the reinvestment dollars that I spoke of earlier. I cannot speak of the specifics because it is an overall four and a half million dollars, I believe, from existing funds with the Department of Education, Culture, and Employment. Plus, I believe, $3 million reinvestment dollars that we have targeted for this current fiscal year. So, I do not know the specifics of the breakdown of where each category would be funded, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the funding mechanism is still one of the aspects of the whole strategy that is being worked on currently by departmental officials within the social envelope. So that has not been finalized yet or determined, but once it has gone through the Social Envelope Committee, it will go through the Cabinet, and more than likely through the Social Programs Committee, and back out to Members once that is finalized, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can the Minister inform us when this might happen? Is there a certain time line on it, a number of months, weeks, years?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the goal is to have the monies available and accessible by April 1st. As I indicated, there are staff members that are working on this as one of the priorities within the social envelope at this time and I do not have the definite time lines on when each process will be finished. But like I said, it is with the intent of getting the monies accessible by April 1st of this year, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

David Krutko Mackenzie Delta
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Health and Social Services. The new direction of the Department of Health and Social Services' proposed alcohol and drug treatment is consistent with community empowerment. As we transfer more programs and dollars to the communities and regional levels, training will be critical to help community workers to do a better job. Does the Minister support training in the area of alcohol and drug treatment training? Thank you.
