Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, my question for the Minister is about the framework for enhancing Victim Services in the NWT. There appears to be no funding in this budget. Could the Minister describe what happened to the funding and whether there is funding available in some other pot to ensure that this victim service program continues?

Mr. Speaker, I’m also looking for a document that is a macro-economic policy framework blends application to the Fortune Minerals Tlicho road. I’m wondering if the Minister of Transportation can share that document with this side of the House.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I recognize that it is not easy to evaluate a program like this because the change would be seen over the long- term, not necessarily within a matter of weeks or months. I am wondering on what basis this program will be evaluated? Thank you.

Masi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, these questions are for the Minister of Transportation. The Minister of Transportation said in this house that the Department of Transportation had submitted a detailed business case to the Government of Canada proposing a $700-million investment in an all-weather highway from Wrigley to Norman Wells. We would like to see on this side of the House this detailed business case and I wonder if the Minister can tell us where and when we will receive that. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, could the Minister describe for us what is happening with the New Day program, which is a pilot program at this point? What are the next steps for the New Day program? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just one further question on that. Is $100,000 the entire budget for the secretariat or is that the NWT share? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services. The most recent antiviolence campaign in the NWT was called What Will It Take? It was aimed at changes by standard responses to violence against women. Can the Health and Social Services Minister report on what that campaign accomplished, including how many people took the workshops and where they were offered? Thank you.

Like a posh hotel kind of thing. I wonder if the Minister could share maybe some policy or guidance around how this works just so I can get a better understanding of it? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I was thrilled to join the Minister Responsible for the Status of Women in New York in March for an important conference. We attended the 60th Annual Meeting of the Commission on the Status of Women at the United Nations, with women from around the world and across Canada. I was inspired by the work being done to prevent violence against women and children. Mr. Speaker, today I want to talk about one document that particularly impressed me. It’s from Australia. “Change the Story” is a framework for the primary prevention of violence against women and children, published...
