Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I move that we report progress.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just wanted to say, for the record, that I respect the contribution that both sides do make to our city and our territory. I appreciate we want to make them work and we want them both to prosper. Mr. Speaker, however, in talking to both parties -- and I've had an occasion to talk to them -- I'm not sure if at least one party, anyway, understands that this is an issue that the government has any place in. So I'd like to know what specifically he's going to do to make sure that we are a party to that. We have a great deal of interest in the success of both...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I believe that the report of the Standing Committee on Social Programs speaks on a number of issues that we heard from the communities, but I just want to make a couple of points here that the interested public might want to know about how we have considered their input. I have been, and I think some of the Members in this House have been, contacted by those who really feel that we should not have made changes to the requirement that would have prohibited bars from selling cigarettes. I understand that there are studies done in this area and there are many experts who...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions today go to the Minister of ITI. Earlier in this session -- and we have been sitting here for almost a month -- there were some questions about the discussions that need to be held between the secondary diamond industry companies and the diamond producer. The Minister made a commitment to bring them together to see if their differences could be worked out. I would like to know, as we are about to leave this House and we are not going to sit until June, I wondered if the Minister could update this House as to where we are on that file....

(Microphone turned off)…budget. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I wish to speak about women’s achievements in various fields, especially in politics and sports. Mr. Speaker, yesterday in one of the meetings in the back room, one of my male colleagues suggested that I should stop being so anti-male. Obviously this is a highly offensive statement, but I am used to that in the world of politics. But it did get me to start dreaming about what it would be like if the Cabinet across the floor were made up of all women instead of all men. I am sure all of my questions and objections to what they are doing or not doing...

Just one follow-up question. Could the Minister of Health indicate what the federal government's criteria was on choosing a facility and program? I don't know if that's the information that…I don't know that information, either. I'm not speaking from knowledge. But this particular facility at Great Slave sort of popped up and there were lots of renovations going on for awhile there, and I wonder if the Minister of Health could indicate what it was that the federal government was looking for in terms of criteria. Thank you.

Thank you. If the Minister could give the breakdown of where these projects are and what they were for, to all the Members, I’d appreciate that very much. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have just a short question on this issue of Northern Strategy trust fund money. I am happy to see that a number of communities have taken the step to tap into this funding. I am sure there are other communities to come here. I just would like to know, because I do not have any information about what sort of projects are being funded under this program. I just want to know what is going on in communities with this Northern Strategy money. Thank you.

Thank you on that. That’s fair enough. I’d be interested in looking at what the department finds out in that regard and see what happened there and what we find out. I guess this is an FMBS issue and not a Health and Social Services issue and I would like to ask the Minister to report to us through AOC or something. It would be interesting to know what happened there. Thank you.
