Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, as was indicated in the report of the standing committee the Members of the committee are concerned that the treatment centre known as Northern Addictions Services, the organization that operates it had been in trouble for a while and a lot of that was due to the way the department had changed its funding. They based it on per diems, the number of people who were in the treatment centre. Another factor that came into play was the fact that the Northern Addictions Services Board had to pay a mortgage for the building that they are operating out of and of course they had to pay maintenance and the rest of that and what I would like to know is whether the treatment centre on the Hay River Reserve known as Nats'ejee K'eh, is that a private facility that the people in the Hay River Reserve have to pay a mortgage for or did the government build that building through a grant? How does that work there? Thank you.
