Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the department along with health boards did work on trying to develop a plan and how we could reprofile the existing facilities that were available to us in the territories to see if we could use them and, those that we already had agreements in place with to try and reprofile programming so we could meet the needs of all residents in the territories. As I am aware of today, there was involvement through the health boards, as well as the department, and NAS or Northern Addiction Services Board, were involved to a number of different degrees through this whole process of trying to come up with a positive solution to what had come about. As I said, unfortunately, we were not able to come to an agreement on what the facility could be used for. When they went towards the area of trying to secure a Justice contract for treating inmates, that is when the department had pulled out of the discussions. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
