Also, along the lines of treatment, I did mention in the House about centres for drug and alcohol addictions. It seems to me there are not enough of them in the Territories. I did ask for facilities for my region, which would benefit Yellowknife and the northern communities and regions. The last few days I have been listening on the radio to the Dogrib hour, and all they are talking about is healing and healing on the land. When we were talking about this under Justice, there were a lot of youth facilities, youth bush camps and there was not enough money for healing on the land when my constituents were trying to have some kind of a program put in place. The boards were told there were no funds for them. I am just wondering, in your business plan are you making accommodation for healing on the land programs?
