Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we are talking health issues, health concerns. Very clearly the evidence is there in terms of respiratory problems. Asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, lung cancer and those related illnesses, there is a direct correlation to cigarette smoke. The Member has raised the issue that in his mind dust is a factor that affects the health of people. He has approached the Ministers of Municipal and Community Affairs, Public Works and Services, Transportation, and the Minister of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development just recently made a statement about clean air in this House. I know there are some monitors here that were put up 20 years ago. There was some discussion about possibly relocating those to other communities, possibly Lutselk'e, to see in fact if there is any substance to the concern, the point being that they have been there for 20 years and they are just now starting to look at and analyze that data. Thank you.
