Does committee agree that consideration of the Department of Health and Social Services is completed?

I think everyone in this room and I think people listening would probably indicate that that is a fairly low number of convictions in distracted driving in the NWT. What is the Minister and the department doing to reinforce this law?

Ms. DeLancey.

Turn to pages 6-7 and 6-8, Health and Social Services, activity summary, community wellness and social services, infrastructure investment summary, total infrastructure investment summary, $5.2 million.

As I said, in itself, this is not the issue and it is the price we pay for technology of sort, but then again, when does this or should this fixation trump the safety of our society. Unpopular as this may sound, maybe the concept of lose the phone is just that if you are distracted while using a phone and you get caught, you lose it; something for us to think about, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister Beaulieu.
