Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I indicated, it would be up to the regional referral team that would be put in place. As I will be indicating, some of the alcohol and drug referral reforms and the alcohol and drug reforms which we will get into a bit more detail once the departmental budget comes forward, what we are anticipating and proposing is that some of the referral dollars be shifted to the regional level. So, there will be more regional and local input into the referral so that would give people in the regions the opportunity to best assess where the needs are in talking with their clients who they would be dealing with. I would not totally rule it out, Mr. Speaker, but it would not be in my control as the Minister, to direct what facility to send clients to, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
