I apologize. I'm sorry, Mr., whatever. Okay, okay.

In 2007, when he made reference to 2007, and I think in 2007 when the decision was made to take out another project, that was with good intention. And there's a lot of things that we have done. But there was nothing that for all the years that I was there too, we never I don't want to say discredit again but I know they do get our financial statement. And if they knew that there was something wrong with our water pipe system 40 years ago, why didn't they address it back then and tell us. And years later, when we're experiencing this problem...

Okay, okay. Then I'll

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Okay, I know he made numerous reference to the $40 millions and to the 2007, and I think I know what this Minister is trying to do, is that he is trying to discredit the community government and playing blaming game. I won't have time for that. So I think that's what he's trying do.

Thank you. Does the Minister think it is fair to give community gas tax funding of a million dollars in 2007 and not provide any funding for a 40yearold water pipe liability costing over $10 million. Will the Minister commit to seeking out unused funds from other departments to respond to the emergency? Thank you.

Okay. Mr. Speaker, all of these department have to shut down their offices due to water problems. Both school have frozen pipes several times in the winters. In January, senior home had to bring in water to manual flush toilets with bucket. All government services and offices were shut down for two weeks after Christmas due to water problems. By not helping the community resolve this problem, I feel GNWT is making a decision that will impact essential community services.

Mr. Speaker, water is a human right, and it is important to people's health and wellness. Even the Minister said it himself...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm asking this question because I worked in the school for many years, and it's to the Department of Health and Social Services regarding the addictions.

Children are being exposed to alcoholism and drug addictions throughout their entire school experience. What programs are in place for school age from elementary through to high school to educate young people about the negative impacts of alcohol and drugs, drug addictions? Thank you.

Thank you. Can the Minister identify what specific communitybased programming is in place now to support people struggling with addictions between the age of 20 to 40 years old?

Thank you, Minister I mean Mr. Speaker. Okay, for the Health and Social Services. Many NWT residents have voiced that they want mental wellness and addiction recovery support in their own communities. Currently, most of the positions for this work is located in Yellowknife. But what plans are underway to increase more staff in the regions?

Thank you. I know I should have addressed Minister of Education as well, but I do have one more questions but it's more technical, and I will submit written questions for that. Thank you.

Thank you. How does the Department of Health and Social Services work with other department to provide wraparound supports to people in their 20s to 40s 40 years old struggling with addictions such as child care, counselling, career coaching, income assistance, etcetera. Thank you.
