Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Departments of Health and Social Services; Public Works and Services; and Municipal and Community Affairs have taken initiatives to improve the coordination and delivery of water-related services. These three departments together have reviewed the roles and responsibilities of all organizations, including government departments, water boards and communities involved in the provision of drinking water.

The review was completed in April. Public Works and Services is now focusing on the provision of small water system operator training and certification, with particular emphasis on the training and certification of the uncertified operators in the smaller communities of Aklavik, Tsiigehtchic, Jean Marie River and Lutselk'e. The training certification session has been scheduled for May and June in Yellowknife and Inuvik. Those are some of the initiatives we have undertaken to try to address the issue of the quality of water supply. Thank you.
