Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yesterday, the Minister indicated the maximum amount of times a person would be allowed to go to treatment would be three times. I know from speaking to people working within the alcohol and drug treatment area that one of the major problems in the past has been improper assessment of a person prior to going to treatment. I would like to know, since a person is only going to be able to go three times or thereabouts, I guess it has not been finalized yet, what is being done to improve the assessment of people going for treatment?
