Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I stated earlier, they were involved in the discussions that took place up until the time they notified the department that they were choosing a different avenue to proceed in. The reprofiling of the NAS facility, the one out in Dettah was chosen because of its size, to be used as a repatriation initiative for youth. We were informed at that time that they felt it was not in the best interest of the NAS board in that facility and, therefore, informed us that they were pursuing the other avenue we spoke of earlier. They notified us that they did not want to be involved in the reprofiling as we had tried to pursue. That was in consultation with other health boards in the territories. So they were informed in telling us they did not want to proceed. When it came down to the specific alcohol and drug programming, if we had reprofiled, we would be doing drug and alcohol treatment at other facilities that are available to us. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
