Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I cannot say definitively for sure, but I can say that we recognize that there is a higher incidence of alcohol and drug abuse in the Northwest Territories. That was also a factor that was taken into consideration, and the overall decision for withdrawing the funds of Delta House, I would like to reiterate that we are not withdrawing the provision of alcohol and drug treatment services to the residents of Inuvik or the residents of the Inuvik region itself. We will continue to maintain and provide residential treatment beds and spaces for those individuals that require that. We will continue to provide alcohol and drug treatment funding at the regional and the local level to assist individuals needing programs and services, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
