Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish to inform the people of the Northwest Territories of a GNWT launch of “My Voice, My Choice,” a youth drug and alcohol prevention campaign. This launch is occurring on Thursday, December 15th , here at

the Great Hall of the Legislative Assembly at 11:00 a.m. It is important that we encourage our northern youth and have them express their voice on this important topic. The campaign will use a similar well-known setup like Speakers Corner to gather video camera responses to questions pertaining to addictions and messages for youth. The video clips will be edited and placed on the Department of Health and Social Services’ You Tube channel.

I strongly encourage all Members of this Assembly to participate with this initiative and to help send a supportive message to our youth about drug and alcohol addictions throughout the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
