Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Health and Social Services and it's following up on the Minister's statement on taking action on tobacco. Mr. Speaker, the Minister mentions the event that was held in the past. I think it was the Quit and Win Contest. When I first heard about it, I thought it was a great idea to get the promotion going and the media play of the contest and so on. I thought it was a highly successful event, not just for the winners, but for everyone who thought about it and is to take part in it. I am just wondering if the department has done an evaluation of the program and whether or not there is any plan to continue with that program. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In evaluation of the program that's being done, I know a decision has been made to run it again this coming year. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I believe that event, while the idea might have been simple in some ways, did require lots of organization and necessary resources have to be put into that. I am interested in hearing more positive responses from the Minister than what he just gave, Mr. Speaker. Could he indicate whether or not he supports this initiative at all? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I support any initiative that will help even one Northerner to quit smoking. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, further to his statement, I am wondering about the visit by Ms. Crowe. The statement states that she will be visiting Yellowknife during March 13th to 16th. I wonder if the plan is all booked up or would there be schools that she will be visiting or could schools ask for a visit from her. Is that possible? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I don't have a full detailed agenda, but we would be seeking to work with Ms. Crowe to accommodate other requests if possible and I know that while she promotes public, smoke-free workplaces, she's also very interested in working with youth to get them to not start smoking. I would be happy to work with my colleague if there are specific requests that we could try to accommodate. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would encourage the Minister to have his staff be proactive in getting interest shown. My final question, Mr. Speaker, has to do with the same area. In his statement, I don't see any indications of her visiting any place other than Yellowknife. Is that intentional? Is she visiting any other communities in the North?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I understand that her visit is slated to Yellowknife. Ms. Crowe is working under very difficult circumstances. We are trying to be as understanding and accommodating as possible to her personal schedule. Thank you.
