Thank you, Mr. Speaker. First let me be very clear that the issue of personal choice and smoking and drinking, exercise, what you eat, are issues for all Northerners. Wherever you live they respect no age, no colour, no boundary by community and they are something we all must be clearly aware of. The health of the Northwest Territories residents is of concern across the land, not just small communities versus large communities or vice versa. The Member has indicated that in his opinion dust is a significant health issue in his community and we have indicated that we are going to make efforts to see what options there are to remediate the dust and I have just committed to checking to see if there are, in fact, any significant health indicators by visits to the community health and nursing stations that would give any kind of verifiable substance to the Member's concern. Thank you.
