Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Health and Social Services. Earlier today in my statement, I had talked about the fact that there had been native women from the Northwest Territories who had been sterilized without their consent in Alberta during a period when there was an act making this legal and that many women in Alberta were now being compensated by the Government of Alberta for doing that. What I would like to know is if this government is aware of this situation in Alberta and about the women getting compensated for being sterilized without their approval? Thank you.
