Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Health and Social Services, Mr. Ng. It is in regard to the bad publicity that Fort McPherson has been receiving lately with the problem of youth. I would like to ask the Minister about a report that has been issued by his department, along with the Department of Education, called "Healthy Children Initiatives". Also there is a section that deals with the strength of young people and it deals with certain items, especially in regard to the acts of service to help deliver healthy lives with the youth, but it also talks about the youth also having a role in the communities through workshops and consultation with elders and with the caregivers. Mr. Speaker, my question to the Minister is, what resources are available to communities to carry out this initiative that your department put forth along with the Department of Education, especially in the community of Fort McPherson, where there seems to be real problems with alcohol, drugs, self-esteem, we are seeing problems in our schools and now we are seeing it in the courts? I would like to ask the Minister what can his department do to help support the community of Fort McPherson financially to basically carry out these initiatives? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I do not have that document, I do not have the specifics of what resources are available as a result of what is outlined in there. As the honourable Member indicated, these are joint Health and Social Services and Education, Culture and Employment initiatives. I will speak to my honourable colleagues and see what we can do. If there are any specific proposals that the honourable Member wishes to bring forward or his community wishes to bring forward in respect to some assistance, we would be glad to take a look at that and see if we can assist. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
