Thank you. Mr. Chairman, I understand what the Premier is saying. Sure, all those are contributing factors which she outlined. I realize that, but I think the message which people are conveying to the Minister, particularly the Minister of Social Services, is that greater attention has to be given to the drug and alcohol programs and services which we deliver, particularly in terms of the funding we provide to our front line workers. I think the programs and services are not adequate, that is why we have been making recommendations such as the one made by the Standing Committee on Finance saying that any potential lapsed funds should be put into drug and alcohol workers' salaries and food allowance rates for social assistance clients.

I think part of the message I am receiving, and the department that we are conveying it to is saying, is that we have to place more emphasis on these programs and services we are delivering. We have to increase the funding, particularly in the salaries and training component of it. The entire program has to be enhanced. I think that is the message which is quite clearly being delivered to the department. Mahsi.
