Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In conjunction with that, when families apply to foster children in the care and custody of the Department of Health and Social Services, does the suitability of the home and parents take into account whether or not there are smokers in the home? There are a lot of precedent-setting cases now, which indicate that visitation rights, even of parents, have been denied on the grounds of smoking in front of the children. I would like to know if his department screens that aspect of foster parents. Thank you.
