Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, it is and it is not. If an individual still requires residential treatment at a residential treatment facility, then the boards in the communities would still be obligated to provide that service. They cannot just arbitrarily say we are not going to fund residential treatment with this money, and we are going to put it all into mobile treatment for everybody else. In that respect, they still have certain criteria and access to service that we expect them to provide for their constituents. But what would happen is, if it were to be seen that there was not the big demand for residential treatment services amongst their constituents, and they had dollars left in the residential treatment area we are funding them for, they would have the flexibility to fund a mobile program or to put it into any other area they thought there was a priority for the benefit for the service of their constituents. Thank you.

Roy Erasmus Yellowknife North
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. From what the Minister is saying, the possibility exists that there is not one treatment centre in the north that will get 100 percent of the money they are eligible for. The possibility exists that every one of those treatment centres will be in a deficit at the end of the year, if money can be used for other things. Is that correct?
