Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Alcohol and drug workers did receive a 17.01 per cent increase in salaries a year ago that was retroactive to April 1, 1992. During committee of the whole, I informed the Member that the department is doing everything it can to identify the required amount of dollars to increase their wages. I told him with no new revenues coming in, and with the restraint we're under, it has been very difficult. Thank you.
