Again, we have another pot of money, $576,000, that we're using for services outside of the territories. That's three or four times where we've had huge amounts of money being expended south of our border. I know there's a hell of a lot more, heck of a lot more, excuse my language. I'm sorry, I apologize. My point is, we've been promoting people to buy north, use north, use northern services, and to enhance and develop our own services and programs, and yet, continually, we're signing agreements and letting the money go south. It just doesn't make sense. Especially with the development of two or three new alcohol and drug units in the north. We should be trying to fill the spaces here rather than sending them out, and provide proper services and proper treatment facilities in the Northwest Territories. Mahsi.
