Thank you, Mr. Chair. Welcome back to the Premier and staff. It’s just more of a question of curiosity, not really affecting the budget for 2014-15 but more for completion of the picture. I want to draw everyone’s attention to the very last line of this activity summary to NWT Days in Ottawa. We all know the Premier has made comments in the House that this was funded within the department, but this activity deals with the expenditure and there is nothing indicated here under main or revised for expenses for NWT Days in Ottawa. Maybe we could get some clarity as to why it was not in this...

Thank you, Minister McLeod. Moving on with general comments, I have Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Mr. Stewart. Moving on with general comments, I have Mr. Blake.

I appreciate the Minister for his contribution. One only has to look at some quick Internet searches to see all the worldwide initiatives and awareness programs around the reducing of our sugar intake. One such initiative, called Action on Sugar, aims to help people avoid hidden sugars and tackles awareness.

Given the call for obesity in the Northwest Territories, will this Minister commit to a concerted effort to reduce NWT sugar intake by mirroring a similar campaign made for the NWT? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. We’ll go to Minister McLeod.

It sounds like we’re hearing a broken record here today from the Minister. I heard the very same results here going back almost two years ago in this House on February 14, 2012, from the previous Minister of Health, that there was to be work undertaken with the Bureau of Statistics to include prescription drug abuse with a general addictions survey.

Can the Minister of Health today indicate whether or not this actually happened? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. I’ll treat that as a comment. Committee, we’re on 3-11, activity summary, directorate, operations expenditure summary, $3.817 million. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. I know the Minister has noted that comment. Committee, 3-27, activity summary, labour relations, operations expenditure summary, $2.818 million. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Minister Beaulieu. Ms. Bassi-Kellett.
