Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Yet other facilities, like the one is Hay River, just a 30 bed facility, unlike the Tl'oondih Camp, which has not received core funding, the Hay River program has received $1,024,540.00 in 1995 core funding and is only an 11 hour drive from Edmonton.

Northern Addiction Services manages a 20 bed facility outside of Dettah and receives $1,108,139.00 to operate its facility. Delta House, an old 12 bed facility in Inuvik, has received $672,000 to operate its program. Tl'oondih, a 30-bed facility, receives no core funding for its healing program.

Recently the GNWT has agreed to contribute $300,000 to the Tl'oondih Healing Society, which is not core funding. I would like to state, this is not core funding. These funds were an advance against future clients that are admitted into the program. The cost of running the Tl'oondih Healing Camp and office were in excess of what we are receiving and we shall be running into a deficit this year. If we do not take an action now, because of financial restrictions, the camp shall be closed until January 1997. We shall be completing organizational review and study over the options or whether we are welcomed in the field of healing in the Northwest Territories by this government.

I will have a question for the Minister later on in regards to questions.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
