Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am not aware of any proposals coming forward on that matter. However, if the alcohol and drug treatment committee would submit a proposal to relocate and find other accommodation, we are certainly willing to look at that request.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If they put in a proposal I would want to see it, because apparently they have put in a proposal before I became a Member. So maybe you could give this consideration in the near future, because they are placed in the recreation centre. They are in the same office, but partitioned by only pieces of wood. The drug and alcohol secretary and counsellors are in the same building. Maybe you can look into providing them with funding to get a building. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have not been able to ascertain any proposals. We are not aware of any proposals coming from Cape Dorset. It is a concern that the facility is not adequate for privacy arrangements for such a delicate and important subject to be discussed. I think it is incumbent, however, on the committee in that community to put forward a proposal to find other facilities. However, to assuage any fears that the Member may have that there is a proposal here, we will certainly look for it. But the simplest thing would be for the committee to revisit their needs and submit that proposal along with their future contribution agreement that is upcoming.

(Translation) Mr. Chairman, I was told by the counselling services that they had made proposals to the government and they were not sure what the situation is right now. Before I became a Member, they said, they made proposals; but now I know you have no proposals. I will try and communicate with them as soon as possible for them to put in a proposal.

Yes, just to thank the Minister and the Members for their support for the two facilities that are going on the reserve, but I did make a Member's statement yesterday with regard to the alcohol and drug centre, and I referred specifically to the Department of Public Works. It is not that I do not appreciate your support for those facilities. The reason I did not mention it is that you will have your day when the official opening happens, so hold onto your belt, okay?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We are very humble in the department, and we know where the sentiments lie, and as long as we do a good job we are happy.
