Marci cho, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, committee wishes to consider Committee Report 7-18(2), Report on the Review of Members' Conduct Guidelines. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Individuals who go to treatment often are going because of obvious issues. Many of them have no employment at the time they leave to finally go down to get treatment. I'm wondering if the Minister could tell me if there are any additional supports available for individuals in treatment; and by additional supports I mean things like individuals who are trying to get off heavy drugs and alcohol who smoke but don't have cigarettes and have no support to purchase cigarettes, or don't have any money to buy toiletries, and so on. I was wondering if the Minister could tell me if there is any of that...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have questions for the Minister of Health and Social Services in relation to treatment facilities down south. I'm not sure if the Minister would be allowed to answer this question, but I'm wondering what the cost is for an individual going to one of the four treatment centres, the average or anything that kind of gives me a feel for what the costs would be for us to treat one individual for a full program in the treatment centres down in Alberta and British Columbia? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, committee wishes to consider Bill 7, An Act to Amend the Revolving Funds Act, Committee Report 6-18(2) Report on the Review of Bill 7, An Act to Amend the Revolving Fund Act. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

The honourable Member for Nahendeh talked about mill rates. In the municipalities where they charge mill rates, you get a service, curbs, water and sewer, piped systems, usually. What type of service does the GNWT charge to -- I can't think of the word that would constitute the 10 per cent being charged for the leases.

Marci cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I didn't know that some members of my riding were in. I see Bertha Catholique up there; she's an interpreter from Lutselk'e now, and Vance Anderson, who is my grandson's father. Thank you.

Marci cho, Mr. Speaker. [Translation] Today, I would like to talk about International Women's Day. I would like to talk about the ladies, all who are sitting here today. Today, I would like to talk about my mother. [End of translation] I would like to rise to pay tribute and thank the person with the greatest influence in my life, my mom.

Mr. Speaker, my mom was born April 30, 1934, in a place called Rocher River, as Annie Else Ana. Later, when she started school, they gave her her father's name, "Look." She went to school for only a couple of years, because there was so much pressure upon her...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I just wanted to touch on a couple of the issues, or concerns I'll call them, that I've heard as a Member of this House. I've heard that this was going to possibly have an effect on tour operators. It's not really affecting tour operators monetarily, but possibly affecting the numbers of tourists who would come. If it was at a higher cost, I'm pretty sure that the tour operators could essentially pass their costs on to the tourists themselves, but if it was too high, then you eliminate the percentage of the tourists. It could have some impact there, a...

The Minister speaks of the review on the land leasing policy hasn't occurred, I do believe he said, since 1999. There are some properties where the units have been on there since the 1980s, since the 1970s, and so on. Mainly since the 1970s would probably be the older units in our smaller communities. I would like to ask the Minister if he is prepared to look at what the original deal was, because many of the people who are leasing have indicated that that was their land to start with and they built their home on their own land and now they are paying the government for 10 per cent of the...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I apologize to the Minister of Lands for not giving him a heads-up, but it's just a bit of a continuation of the honourable Member from Nahendeh. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to ask the Minister if this 10 per cent policy is a policy that is left over from the equity lease, where leases were paid out in full in 10 years? Thank you.
