Question 696-19(2): Illicit Drug Trade
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 73)

It's time to stop discussing the issue. We need to see some action. I ask the Minister if he agrees that people need to speak up more in the communities. What are we doing to provide opportunities for people to report issues related to drugs?

Member's Statement on Illicit Drug Trade
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 73)

Question 694-19(2): Community Garden
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 72)

Another organization, the Soaring Eagle Friendship Centre, what they are looking at doing is buying some small containers that are designed for growing vegetables in, just for starters. I forget how many they have got, a hundred or something they are going to be giving away. I am not sure if the Department of ITI is talking to them or assisting or whatever, but we are here to provide a service. When you provide a service, you usually go banging on doors. It's kind of like us as MLAs. If we want to know something, we have got to call our constituents. We have got to talk. We have got to go out...
