Thank you, Madam Chair. Welcome to the Member for Sahtu and his proposed legislation. I think the first relevant fact for me is we’re talking about the sale of a government-controlled substance. So this is already sort of beyond the course of normal business. So we are used to specific regulations and guidance being put forward on controlled substances like liquor. I thought it was very interesting. I was not on the committee and I did not travel, but I’ve been listening closely to the committee and found it interesting that they found considerable merit in both the pros and cons to the proposed legislation. So, no, this has not been an easy road or a clear road necessarily, at least in the beginning, and I appreciate the change and the Member’s flexibility to accommodate that change in ensuring that the decision was made by communities that represent at least 50 percent of the residents of the Sahtu.

We’ve been pointing our fingers very strongly at the lifting of restrictions at the liquor store in Norman Wells as the cause of this situation. But I’m very concerned, because we’ve seen this sort of phenomenon in lots of regions of the Northwest Territories where there has been no change in restrictions, but we’ve had large industry come in with large resources and people’s disposable income soared and resulted in the same phenomenon; and the RCMP, I think, can attest to that, as could our Minister of Social Programs. I’ve spoken to the Member for Sahtu and he agrees that it’s almost certainly… Perhaps I could pose that as a question. Would you agree that this is part and parcel of the equation here, that it’s a combination of the lifting of restrictions as well as the additional disposable income that people have as a result of the exceptional levels of development activity, the oil money in the region? Maybe I could start there. Thank you.
