Northern Addictions Treatment  Masi, Mr. Speaker. It's only logical that Northerners undergoing addictions treatment do better when their treatment takes place here in the Northwest Territories.

Question 620-19(2): Public Restrooms on Highway No. 3  I did not hear much of an answer there. Highway safety, as the Minister indicated, we need to put that into actions; less talk, less study.

Question 617-19(2): Bill C-92: An Act Respecting First Nations, Inuit and Metis Children, Youth and Families  Masi, Mr. Speaker.
