Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Tl'oondih operation has developed very recently. As I believe I had indicated earlier in this House, there was a meeting of all operators, executive directors and board directors of the alcohol and drug treatment facilities from throughout the Northwest Territories a few weeks ago to discuss the very issue of how they would be funded in the future, how they would determine their programs to not compete directly with each other if at all possible, how to stop the leakage of dollars going to southern treatment centres so we can expand the services and facilities we have in the North to better accommodate our residents. What I would like to do is a get a detailed briefing on what took place during those discussions -- in which the operators of Tl'oondih were also present -- before I advise the Member on the direction that we're heading. But, generally, I can say that, within a few years, we're heading towards a per them payment to all treatment facilities. That was something that was, to my understanding, agreed upon at that meeting by all operators. Thank you.
