Mr. Chairman, it is my understanding that the alcohol and drug board of management has not met over the past year. I believe Mr. Patterson met with them very briefly when he was a Minister. I would like to ask the Minister what process has her department been using over the past year to approve alcohol and drug submissions? Thank you.

What process has her department been using with respect to reviewing alcohol and drug submissions which were submitted to her department since the alcohol and drug board of management has not met? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The project proposals for the 1992-93 fiscal year which were provided to the department in February and March, 1992, were, in fact, reviewed by the board of management in existence at the time. The department gave the recommendation to the Minister, which was subsequently approved, to approve those particular projects. If you recall, we went through two interim budgets before the main estimates for the 1992-93 fiscal year were approved. We have had a great deal of difficulty in dealing with some of these things. We have not reviewed new project proposals received since the board of management approved the current ones and the ones that had been submitted at that time.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I want to be assured that these submissions which are requesting funding, are also getting the input of the board of management. Am I correct to assume -- and I do not like assuming -- Mr. Chairman, that the Minister indicated that all current funding for alcohol and drug programs will remain at the current funding level? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So, they have remained the same with respect to funding to all alcohol and drug programs for this coming year. What I am asking is, they are currently approved at the current level which was granted to them for 1992-93. That level will be applied for 1993-94. Is that understanding correct?
