Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I've been sort of tasked, I guess by Members on this side, to question the social impacts of the departments, which I am happy to do because I know that it is one that is a concern of all of us on this side and I think I will direct my questions to the Minister responsible for women, the honourable Minister Dent. Mr. Speaker, I realize that social impacts of mega resource development projects are not women's issues alone, but there are a lot of issues that we need to deal with and there is no question that these important issues are not being discussed at various tables that are going on to the extent that they should.

Even oil and gas conferences you have to try really hard to look at the agenda to see how social impacts are being discussed in any substantive way. Even the joint pipeline committee that we have set up, the agenda is crowded and the social impacts get dropped to the sidelines. I think, Mr. Speaker, this report that I mentioned in my Member's statement by the Status of Women Council is a really, really good place to start because it really covers all of the issues that we need to deal with whether it's training, women's participation, potential increase in alcohol and drugs and gambling abuse, the impact of transients and all sorts of things. So let me just ask the Minister as to whether or not there has been any action taken to see if his section on women's directorate could look into this and come up with an action plan on that basis. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
