Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As the honourable Member knows, the department has been more than flexible in providing funding in the past year to assist the Tl'oondih operation, as I have stated in prior occasions to this House. We continue to try to work with the operators there in trying to identify new possible funding sources. As I mentioned earlier, one of the things we are in the process of freeing up is the extended health benefits funding so that if an alcohol and drug specialist refers a client to the Tl'oondih healing camp, we would pay for their costs now.

We have allowed non-insured health benefits qualified individuals to be treated again at the Tl'oondih healing camp. As we move towards more of a per them for all alcohol, drug and treatment facilities, moving away from core funding these facilities and there is more of an opportunity for clients to go to Tl'oondih-type of operation, they will become available. By doing that, the program at Tl'oondih would benefit from this less-restrictive funding arrangement, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
