Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, from a health perspective, we are very aware that respiratory problems are an issue in the Northwest Territories. Bronchitis, asthma, emphysema, lung cancer. One of the major contributing factors, of course, is smoking. The issue of particulate matter and dust control is not an issue that I am fully aware of. I have listened to the debate with Transportation and MACA, but the Department of Health doesn't measure that type of figure in the communities. It's something we rely on other departments to do and if there are problems, we will assist in remedying them. Thank you.
