Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we spend in the neighbourhood of $200 million a year in health and social services. If we agree that smoking and drinking, eating the wrong kinds of food, lack of exercise, being overweight are five key indicators, then we are spending a significant amount of that $200 million dealing with both the prevention but also the results of smoking.
I would also like to say at this point as well that as a Legislature, as a territory, that we cannot much longer avoid the need for legislation that will make smoking in public buildings unacceptable across the board. We are now asking municipalities and communities to take that step. If we are going to demonstrate leadership in the coming months and years, that we as a Legislature are going to have to deal with that issue soon. Thank you.
