Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Social Services and deals with applying the New Directions initiative to meet the mental health needs of people living in the communities. Presently there is a clinical services program in the alcohol, drugs and community mental health services division which is comprised of child care workers and mental health professionals who carry out psychological assessments and counselling for troubled youth in their families. Could the Minister of Social Services indicate whether he would be prepared to, or willing to, consider decentralizing this program so that these clinics could be closer to the client groups they are intended to serve?
