Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Health and Social Services, Mr. Ng. As I stated in my opening statement, this is the first time in Canada that an aboriginal organization has taken an independent approach to the healing process by constructing their own facility and developing a program using their own resources. This is the first facility in Canada designed to take in families. As I mentioned in my statement, one of the biggest problems we seem to have in the area of social services and education is with regard to the family being able to, as a family unit, deal with the problem of alcoholism, drug abuse, sexual abuse and other issues. Will the Minister agree to fund this program, similar to funding any other program for treatment centre operations you have to date in the North?
