Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I have stated many times before, in my Member's statement, I would like to send greetings to my family back home. Mr. Speaker, in Inuvik there are many concerns, growing by the day. Many times I have spoken about fairness, and in Inuvik we feel that we have already done our fair share. Last year we led the statistics in reductions, PY reductions, that is. This year, it looks like we are going to start out by leading the way in facility closures. This is not just any facility. This facility has provided help to the people of the Inuvik region for 20 years. Although not everybody who went through the doors of Delta House achieved, and or maintained their sobriety, many have gone on to lead healthier and happier lives. By doing this, they have been able to break the destructive effects of drug and alcohol in their lives and their families. Needless to say, there is disappointment that is being felt in Inuvik and the region with the announcement of the proposed closure of Delta House.

Mr. Speaker, I am also very concerned with the proposed closure, and what we as a government are sending out as a message to the people of the Territories. With this, Mr. Speaker, I will be questioning the appropriate Minister later. Thank you.
