Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there may not have been direct consultation in respect to the decision obviously that impacted on Inuvik and the Delta House operation. There was some preconsultations through the alcohol and drug working group, through treatment centres' directors, alcohol and drug people, staff from our department last fall, in respect to some of the alcohol and drug reforms that we were attempting to initiate in developing the alcohol and drug reform policy. So there was an awareness and a recognition that there was an over supply of residential treatment beds although it was not specified at that time obviously on which facility may be impacted. Once the decision was made we attempted as expediently as possible to notify the Delta House Board of directors and their staff to advise them to give them as much of an opportunity as possible to prepare for the eventual withdrawal of funds from their operation, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
