Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The board of management, who advises the Minister, has monitored very closely the success and delivery of the alcohol and drug treatment program. There were very glaring discrepancies, I guess, in the amount of money that was being spent in some areas, and the occupancy and usage of centres; somewhere down as far as 45 to 50 per cent of use. Through some method of ascertaining, it was determined that people, in order to really go and seek help, had to have confidence in the people who were delivering the program. This was what the decision was based on: by the obvious non-participation by the workers in some cases.
