Thank you, Mr. Handley. Final supplementary, Mr. Ramsay. Item 7, oral questions. The honourable Member for Yellowknife Centre, Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise again to follow up on some of my questions to the Premier last week; that was Friday, October 22nd. I had asked the Premier many questions in regard to my concerns about Canada's involvement with the missile defence program. Mr. Speaker, briefly I asked him to bring forward a policy that does not exist for a position that does not exist to the Prime Minister's view. If I may quote on page 2131 of unedited Hansard referring to Question 288-15(3), the Premier is quoted as saying "I've already made that request to the Prime Minister in earlier discussions. I am meeting with him on Sunday, and that will be reinforced" and that was in the context of would he bring our message to him. Could the Premier cite to us what he discussed with the Prime Minister, if he can in this House today, with regard to my concerns with the missile defence program? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. You are referring to a Minister's statement that was moved into Committee of the Whole today and you can ask questions on that before Committee of the Whole. I rule that question out of order.

Item 7, oral questions. The honourable Member for Range Lake, Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is again to the Minister of Justice. I mentioned earlier in my previous question about this internal review, I don't know if it's an internal review, but some kind of review that was done on SMCC, and I'm wondering if the Minister can make the findings of that report or the whole report available. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. The honourable Minister of Justice, Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I don't believe that can be made available. I don't think that there is any way that that report, the way it was written, that the information could be severed to protect the individuals involved. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Supplementary, Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I understand there was another study done on the Department of Justice and that was a review of court divisions. Could I have that copy available? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That must have been done before my time as Minister. I have no knowledge of that report; I'm sorry.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Ms. Lee, I would caution you to remain with your original topic in your line of questioning. Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I guess the thing I could say to tie these two together is I'm learning more and more, because people are telling me about this, that they are having a lot of administrative studies done and I'm assuming that they were done in public interest, there were some public interest questions that were being sought. There was probably a problem that they were looking to get answers to, and I would hate to see all these reviews being shelved with nothing being done. I'm not interested in knowing private and personal information, but is there any way the Minister could revisit these two reports and if there were any findings there that are of public interest that he could share? Could he do that please? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I said already on the one report, I don't believe that there is any way to sever the personal information from the one report and bring anything forward from it. On the courts, the one the Member has referred to, I'm not aware of that report, so I will have to look into it and find out whether or not anything from that report can be made public. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Final supplementary, Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the Minister's commitment on the courts division report. With respect to the SMCC review, even if he cannot give us information on what the findings were, could he at least provide us with the information as to why the study was necessary in the first place? Explain what it was about, why they had to do it, who did the study, when it was done and what was done with it, without going into the details. Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will take a look at that report and see whether or not it is possible to do that by way of a letter to the Member. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Item 7, oral questions. The honourable Member for Sahtu, Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it was reported, on October 26th at 12:15 p.m., that communities along the Mackenzie Valley, specifically in Fort McPherson where they are dealing with underage drinking, ran around to see how they can resolve this issue. It's also reported that communities are dealing with the hard drugs like crack addiction, and also in Yellowknife and in Hay River. I would like to ask the Minister of Health and Social Services, can he inform this House of what type of strategy he is working on in terms of dealing with these issues in the small communities and the larger centres and bring that back to the House? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Minister of Health and Social Services, Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have a Mental Health and Addictions Strategy that has had the first two years completed. We've put staff in nearly all the communities, both mental health workers as well as community wellness workers. We're working on ensuring they are properly trained and able to deal with the alcohol and drug issues that arise.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Supplementary, Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I understand the process that the Department of Health and Social Services has taken over the years in terms of getting community wellness workers in the communities. Can the Minister provide some type of report card and see how effective these workers are in terms of combating the drug and alcohol issues? It seems like it is on the increase, Mr. Speaker.
