Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, finally, one of the issues is ensuring there's a process to respond to patient and family concerns related to issues that they hear from front-line medical services is a process to register those complaints and deal with them. Has that been established in the health authority?

That case and other cases are well-canvassed in the media, including the case of my constituent that I mentioned earlier. I think they are subject to discussion in this House. The cultural safety and training piece is probably the largest part of these recommendations. Can the Minister speak to some of the details of the cultural training program that is being developed by the department?

Mr. Speaker, earlier this year, a young Indigenous woman went into Stanton Territorial Hospital complaining of extreme pain. The pain was so bad that, in the emergency room, she doubled over in agony and was curled up in the fetal position crying. It was then a nurse told this young woman that she was being dramatic before calling a security guard over to force the woman to stand up.

Medical records reveal staff indicated her unnecessarily hyperventilating and dramatically yelling. Only after this humiliation was the young woman diagnosed with 8.3-millimeter kidney stones, as well as strep...

No, sorry.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Committee would like to take into consideration Tabled Document 215-18(3), Capital Estimates, 2019-2020, and to consider opening remarks for the capital estimates in the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the Department of Lands, and the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to the Minister. I would like to know: what is the total budget allocation to this training? Do we have those details yet for the pilot program?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, further to my Member's statement, there was a prominent case of cultural bias in the Northwest Territories, in the death of Hugh Papik, an elder in Aklavik. A subsequent report made 16 recommendations to improve services delivery. Can the Minister of Health and Social Services give an update to this House on the progress the department has made in implementing those recommendations? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. This is an increase of $4.6 million to the capital budget. Can the Minister provide the impact to the supplementary reserve for infrastructure expenditures? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have the following questions concerning the performance of the NWT Liquor and Cannabis Commission, addressed to the honourable Minister of Finance:

1. What are the total sales of cannabis products by the NWT Liquor and Cannabis Commission and its vendors by quantity, price, volume, and number of customers;

2. What are the total sales of each individual cannabis product by the NWT Liquor and Cannabis Commission and its vendors by quantity, price, volume, and number of customers;

What is the quantity and type of cannabis products distributed to each...

Merci, Monsieur le President. [Translation] There is a social norm that affects us all, if not in our own home then in the homes of our families and of our friends. It affects so many of us, mostly women, but not exclusively.

Mr. Speaker, we are all aware of just how complex the issue of family violence is. Even worse, the NWT has the second highest rate of family violence instances in the country. The situation here, in the NWT, is at epidemic proportions.

"Family violence" is any instance where a family member is threatening, intimidating, or using any method to illicit fear. Behaviours can...
