Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health and Social Services. As we all know, Mr. Miltenberger was just appointed that portfolio at five o'clock yesterday. He was just elected a few days ago and I would like to congratulate him.

Before his department fills him with briefing notes and directions the department wants to go, I would like to give the Minister an opportunity to tell the people in this House and the Northwest Territories what does he personally feel about the Department of Health and Social Services and what does he want to do with it? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
