Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Social Services. He should be aware that the first addictions program in the eastern Arctic, Aqsarniq in Rankin Inlet, has offered counselling and educational services in alcohol since 1972.

I am dismayed that the Department of Social Services has provided no substantial increases in the funding over the last three years. I am even more concerned to note that the vast majority of these community based drug and alcohol programs are in the same boat.

The question I have for the Minister is, what is the Minister doing to review the immediate and the long term funding requirements of drug and alcohol projects operated by community organizations funded through the Department of Social Services contribution funding?
