Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The matter the Member is addressing is a solUtion to numerous requests by groups who work with alcohol and drug counselling services across the NWT to attend a conference of this nature. Initially the request had been by the groups to send several people from each of the counselling facilities, and this would have far exceeded our budget. Because the department and I place a high priority on alcohol and drug counselling services, this was a solution to the numerous requests we were getting. Rather than send several people from one agency or one group, we would approve the travel costs for one individual from each of these communities to attend this conference. I think it is a good solution.
