Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have been involved with the establishment of two facilities in the Territories, so far, in my political life as a Minister. I am involved now with the establishment of a further treatment centre in Hay River that was promoted and supported strongly by my predecessor, Mrs. Marie-Jewell, and with the concurrence of this government. First of all, they have shown a tremendous initiative in those areas, and the results are very positive. I think we have to look at the results and we have to look at not only the needs in that area but also the drive behind the workers that are going to be delivering these programs. Because without that personal commitment, without that drive, any program is going to fall flat on its face and not succeed to the level that one would expect.
As I said, the other facility that I was involved with in the establishment again, under the initiative of the former government, was the treatment centre that is located on the road near Dettah, and judging by the response of the public to this, this again shows the concern and the active participation to the cause by the workers there, who, by the way, have endorsed this and embraced the sobriety clause without any difficulty. The results, Mr. Speaker, speak for themselves. They have a waiting list of people waiting to go there because they know this is where they can get good treatment.
