Mr. Speaker, I would suggest that there is not a community in the Northwest Territories that could not benefit from community gardens and greenhouses, and some assistance and an overarching policy of this government to encourage communities to make an effort to grow some of their own food, some of their own nutritious food. I would suggest that we do not do enough about that initiative. We don’t do enough to encourage that. I’d like to ask the Minister of Health and Social Services, although we are in the last days of this government, again, to look at those renewable resources that could go a long way towards assisting with the health and well-being of northern residents. Thank you.
