Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there were several options that were looked at as the honourable Member knows. I went before the Standing

Committee to discuss generally some of the alcohol and drug reforms and the possibility of anywhere from closure of two, possibly even three, facilities at one point. A decision was finalized in early to mid-December by myself but it was felt that with Christmas coming on that it was not an ideal situation to make that type of announcement at that time so I made a decision to wait until after the New Year as early as possible after the New Year to formalize any public announcements on the withdrawal of funds for the Delta House operation, Mr. Speaker.
