Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question today is for the Minister responsible for Health and Social Services, Mrs. Groenewegen. It is Addictions Awareness Week, as she has mentioned. I have had constituents call me with concerns about the number of treatment facilities in the Northwest Territories. I think a short time ago we had five operating facilities and I think that we are down to one. The department seems interested in pursuing mobile treatment facilities. From what I can tell, it seems primarily motivated by money; this is a much cheaper alternative. Other than money, can Mrs. Groenewegen tell us why the department has chosen to go this route instead of reopening permanent facilities? Thank you.
