Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister of Health and Social Services in regard to the alcohol and drug programs in the Northwest Territories. As he knows, in the history of the questions I have raised in this House about the closure of Delta House and the Tl'oondih Healing Program, Mr. Speaker, my question to the Minister is, my estimates, since April 1, 1997, and it cost the government in the range of $200,000 to send 62 people from the Inuvik region south for substance abuse treatment. Those people could have received treatment in their own home town and region. My question to the Minister is, will the Minister reconsider the options that may be available to ensure that substance abuse treatment is available to people in the Inuvik region?
