Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is addressed to the Minister of Health and Social Services as well. She updated this House in terms of when the Cuff report would be tabled, indicating it would be tabled on June 25th, which is all well and good, but unfortunately, after the House has risen. The one significant concern I have is that she indicates in her press release that all residents will have the opportunity to respond to the recommendations or provide comments until August 1, 2001, a mere 37 days, Mr. Speaker. This report has been in the works for seven months. It is very problematic for me that it is July when this Assembly itself has said that they want to try to keep the calendar clear for people to have some of the summer to themselves. It is during the Assembly's and summer holidays.

My question to the Minister is why are the people of the Northwest Territories being allowed only such a miniscule amount of time to look at what should be a very important report?
