Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If we are done the comments on this page, I would like to … If there are other comments out there, I would be happy to hold my comments, but if not, I will go forward at this time. I want to follow up on some of the debate we had yesterday on the $400,000 for the nutritious food plans. I just want to mention that we have had motions and recommendations both from the House, from the Social Programs committee over the years without any response from this department. Calling for a milk subsidy for prenatal or neonatal, preschool and early school year children, the responses over the years have varied from good intentions to work with the food baskets, to work to reduce electricity rates. In more recent weeks, the responses have varied from funding yet another nutritious foods survey within the NWT, as if we needed one, and most recently, forming an NWT Nutritious Foods Steering Committee. I have to wonder what it will be next week, Mr. Chairman.
While this was raised for debate yesterday, the Minister went off on a new direction and said he would be funding things like I think it was NWT Foods First Foundation. I think he also mentioned a breakfast program in schools and said that he is
meeting exactly what we want. Now, that is good to hear, but I haven’t developed any confidence in that because of the ephemeral nature of the department’s current stance on this. I think we ended the debate expecting that the Minister will provide us with details that will assure us, give us some confidence that, in fact, we know exactly how these dollars will be spent and that they will be used to supplement food programs, nutritious foods programs for children where they are needed and very similar in some of the remarks that the Minister came out with. I think this should not be onerous and, to that end, I have a motion, if I may, Mr. Chairman.
