Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as all Members are aware, it is a particularly higher than national average problem in the Northwest Territories and does cost our system significantly. We are in the process in our 1999 Business Plan again, on one of the strategic directions, particularly in the area of health promotion, is one specific priority area is tobacco harm reduction and cessation programs. We plan to actively pursue a territorial strategy in that respect. Hopefully it can tie in with some of the national initiatives that are being pursued as well, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
