Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Fetal alcohol effect and fetal alcohol syndrome are, I believe, the most daunting and challenging situations that this government faces not only today, but I think it will be something that will become of even greater consequence for us in the future.
As I have started to learn more and more about this situation as a newer MLA, it struck me as something where I did not even know where to start to begin to look at this, to find out where we might be able to make a difference.
Today, Mr. Speaker, in Fort Simpson, there are a number of people who are getting together and showing just the kind of leadership that I need as an MLA to try to make a difference. Parents and community and school leaders are getting together to start to learn more, to talk about fetal alcohol effect and fetal alcohol syndrome, to get over some of the conditions of denial, of guilt that might be associated with this. They are learning how to cope, how to make their communities, institutions and homes better places to deal with this kind of thing.
I hope Members of this Assembly will join me in wishing them luck. We will be looking to them for leadership and I wish them all well. Thank you.
