Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister has not informed me if there are some results we are going to hold that he wants to improve on. I have seen a lot of that in my time so far as a Member of the Legislative Assembly.

At least with this new area in which they are doing work, are there going to be some solid results that we can look to and say that we have achieved? That the Minister can stand up and say he has achieved as the Minister responsible for Education, Culture and Employment during his tenure? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. The honourable Minister responsible for Education, Culture and Employment, Mr. Ootes.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes. As I said, we are working towards the development of a youth planning document, and I think in that we can identify the programs that are in existence, and start to put figures as to what our goals and objectives are on that. Also, what our accomplishments are expected to be in that area. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister Ootes. Final supplementary, Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Maybe the Minister can clarify for me. He is speaking of this planning that is being done, but we have heard earlier from the Minister himself and the Minister responsible for Health and Social Services that the agenda for children and youth is done. Is that the case? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. The honourable Minister responsible for Education, Culture and Employment, Mr. Ootes.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The department is working in collaboration with the Department of Health and Social Services on an early childhood development program. That is a strategy that we are working on. We hope to have that together in the next several months. I believe that is the one that the Member may be referring to. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister Ootes. Item 6, oral questions. The honourable Member for Deh Cho, Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. The honourable Minister responsible for Municipal and Community Affairs, Mr. Antoine.

Thank you, Minister Antoine. Supplementary, Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the Minister if that program includes construction of above ground swimming pools or the replacement of above ground swimming pools. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. The honourable Minister responsible for Municipal and Community Affairs, Mr. Antoine.

Thank you, Minister Antoine. Supplementary, Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In the communities that I represent, I think there is only one program that is still running, and it is in dire need of replacement. My question to the Minister is, if there is no replacement program to construct facilities for swimming pools, what is his plan to reduce the number of drownings in the North? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. The honourable Minister responsible for Municipal and Community Affairs, Mr. Antoine.

Thank you, Minister Antoine. Item 6, oral questions. The honourable Member for Yellowknife South, Mr. Bell.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question today is for the Minister responsible for Health and Social Services, and it is in the area of addictions. Mr. Speaker, when our Social Programs Committee was in Hay River a couple of weeks ago for the Northwest Territories Health Care Annual General Meeting, we listened with interest as the departmental representative told us that the department had an addictions strategy and have used that addictions strategy document in developing their business plans this year.

I am wondering if the Minister can tell us if indeed they do have an addictions strategy document? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Bell. The honourable Minister responsible for Health and Social Services, Mrs. Groenewegen.

Mrs. Groenewegen, the time is going. The clock is ticking.

The question has been taken as notice, Mr. Bell. Item 6, oral questions. The honourable Member for Hay River North, Mr. Delorey.
