Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise again in support of the A New Day program. It's not the first time that I've had the opportunity to support this very important program and to speak about the issue of the crisis of family and spousal violence in the Northwest Territories. I'm very proud also to stand with so many honourable Members who have spoken today in support of this program and who have taken a keen interest in the work that the staff of A New Day have done since their program started, to try to turn the corner on this.

Can the Minister confirm if 911 is...
