Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the department devolves money to community and regional boards specifically for treatment for addictions and it would then be up to those specific communities or regional boards to apply the policy that they would see fit in terms of appropriate placements for constituents who may be applying to partake in treatment. As to whether the department has a specific policy with respect to cultural-specific treatment, we do not have an overlying policy, but we certainly encourage the boards to use their money as effectively as possible. Thank you.
