Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Premier and it is in regard to my Member's statement. As we all swore an oath when we were sworn in to the 14th Assembly to serve the residents of the Northwest Territories and also that we treat everybody fairly across the board, I think it is also important that we, as the Members of this Legislature, have to ensure that we improve the programs and services that are out there. We have seen a real decline in the area of health, social services and in the health and well-being of the people who are in our communities and the residents of the Northwest Territories.

An area I have a lot of concern about is to ensure that the health and well-being of the people of the North are being well-served, to make sure that we have safe drinking water, that it does not affect the health of the residents of the Northwest Territories, especially when we as a government are responsible for ensuring that service is not jeopardized by the actions of this government in regard to carrying that out, or the inactions of this government because of not responding to it.

I would like to ask the Premier, due to the number of concerns that have come forth and knowing that we do have an obligation to the residents, is there an avenue to ensure that we continue to carry out the responsibility to work for the benefit of all the people of the North, making sure that service is measured by ensuring we do make positive steps, that we do not continue to make statements like we are looking at it, we will get back to you, but making positive efforts to find solutions to these problems for the residents of the Northwest Territories.
