Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question at this time will be directed to the Minister of Health and Social Services in response to his Minister's statement today on the Adoption and Family Law Act.

Mr. Speaker, in the previous Assembly, this issue had arisen as well and created some controversy. Mr. Speaker, I want to go at this from an issue I raised yesterday in the area of traditional knowledge and healing, and how some of it is appropriate and how some of it probably is not appropriate.

This is an area where I see there might be some appropriateness in developing legislation that this government would go forward and seek some input from those in the Northwest Territories to see if legislation of this type would indeed be accepted.

Mr. Speaker, my question to the Minister of Health and Social Services is, has he consulted the aboriginal groups of the Northwest Territories with this matter? Thank you.
