Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I can’t give the Member an exact date of when the report will be brought forward. I was part of the discussion or listening to the commitment made by the previous Minister in this area. As I stated earlier to Ms. Lee, it will be our duty to follow up on that to ensure that the information does come forward in a timely fashion. There has been much work done that we have to look at and pull together. But I believe there was a commitment made already. Again, I have confirmed today that we will bring that forward and deal with that. It is easy enough to...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, from the Human Resources' side we are working with the Department of Health and Social Services to meet the commitment that was made by the previous Minister. From the Department of Health and Social Services side, reviewing the work that’s been done, where things sit is only part of the equation again and meeting the commitment that was made by the previous Minister and our goal is to do just that. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we’ve been working with both departments looking at the previous work that was done and fine tuning the previous human resource survey that was done in that facility and updating it and be prepared to bring it to Members to have a look at that and then set up a procedure for moving forward. So I believe we can meet the commitment that was made by the previous Minister. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, what we've done to date is I've just signed off a letter to the organizations, both parties, to urge them to get back to negotiations. From the side of delivery of services, we are prepared for those who are seeking support in the area of addictions help, that we would ensure that services are available to them whether in the territory or out of the territory. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the arrangement we have is with the Dehcho Health and Social Services Authority who then has a contract in place for delivery of these services with the Nats'ejee K'eh Society. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have been a Member for a number of assemblies now. I have seen the committees put together. I have seen the results of them. We have come up with some positive changes in a number of areas. Ultimately, if it does become my full-time responsibility in this field, I want to make myself comfortable with the file as to what work has been done. For example, I know, under the previous Minister, that a Joint Leadership Committee between all health boards and the department has been formed. They have put together a strategic plan. That would be, I think...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am not prepared at this stage to have a committee of Regular Members and myself or a joint committee of members and Ministers go through a political process of questioning staff and putting them under that situation. In fact, I believe an employee survey was used in 2002, if I have the dates right or the year right of an employment survey done on an independent process. I think that would be the more appropriate tool to use.

As the Government of the Northwest Territories on the human resource side, dealing with the front-line workers, we have done a lot...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, from the Human Resources' side I think we can show a positive track record in trying to deal with the issue of nurse recruitment, of nursing program in the Northwest Territories, as well as at Stanton. When it falls into the whole territorial aspect of how we deliver services from the Human Resources' side, we can show many examples of what we’re trying to do government-wide in trying to deal with this specific issue. On the side of dealing with the Stanton issue, we will work with the Department of Health and Social Services to ensure that the review is an...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, to the involvement that Human Resources would be involved, we will be supportive in the initiative that commitment was made in this Assembly not too long ago. From the Department of Health and Social Services' side of the equation, we are looking at the process that was discussed and the plan was put there. A lot of initiatives are underway and we want to meet the commitment that was made here in this Assembly and we’ll work towards that end. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, FASD, is a lifelong disability. Effective prevention efforts, early diagnosis, supportive environments and a range of special supports and services are necessary to assist individuals and their families in their journey toward self-reliance and well-being.

The Government of the Northwest Territories, GNWT, is committed to addressing the issue of FASD. As you may be aware, the GNWT has been a member of the Canada Northwest Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Partnership since 2000. The NWT is now the lead jurisdiction for the...
