Yes, in regards to subsidizing food and everything else, I mean why are we, in this day and age, still subsidizing liquor. I mean, we cannot afford to treat people and we should find a mechanism where those people that are purchasing alcohol, why are we subsidizing them in this day and age when there is no money there to treat people but there is money there to subsidize the substance of the source of the alcohol problems we have in the north? So when are we going to look at the those people that want the alcohol, take the subsidy off and use it for something that can be used such as treatment facilities, since we do not seem to have any money for that right now?
