Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we do not have any specific examples of if that is happening with different employers. I personally do not have any information regarding whether or not different employers are involved in this area here in trying to be socially conscious and trying to recognize that there are additional problems as a result of the increase in benefits and economic development to people in the small communities. It has a direct relation to increased social problems. I think I am not too familiar with that area. I have never gotten into that discussion, but I am familiar in Fort Liard that in the gas development, the band itself is a major employer of its own people to do the work. The gas fields has its own programs to deal with the social side of things and I think the companies that are involved have also contributed to alcohol and drugs and community activities that are trying to promote dealing with the social problems that come out of it.

They are attempting to work in that area. It is really up to the different communities. In Fort Liard is up to the community leadership. They try to deal with it for themselves. We, as the Government of the Northwest Territories, are not really directly involved in it. We want to ensure that it happens, but monitoring is really left up to the individual communities or organizations that have these agreements. Certainly that is one area in this developing area that is something new that we are getting involved with. We know that there is a relationship between additional social problems as a result of alcohol and drug problems and violence problems. Perhaps more incarceration like the example the honourable Member had earlier on in his remarks. It is certainly something new that is worth investigating and perhaps finding a way to try to address it, because it is something new that we have to deal with. Thank you.
