Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We are continuing to practice and engage in some of the strategies that have been there in the past, things like Quit and Win. We are involved as well with the Alberta Lung Association, with what is called BLAST, Building on Leadership for Action Schools Today, which tries to encourage youth to stop smoking. More importantly, I think there is the move to better coordinate with Education, Municipal and Community Affairs, Health and Social Services, and all of these other departments that have a common interest in dealing with people in the communities dealing with issues like smoking, that are such a prevalent occurrence, unfortunately, in the communities, and pooling our resources so that we can in fact move away from possibly just a too-exclusive focus on posters and that type of approach, and look to how we can pool our money with the Youth Secretariat and all of these other departments to come up with hands-on, practical programs for youth in the communities, so that we can encourage them to stop smoking, and pregnant mothers not to smoke and to have no smoking at home. Thank you.
