Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health and Social Services. I find it awfully alarming, Mr. Speaker, that in order for people to receive alcohol and drug treatment, they have to go to southern Canada.

I would like to ask the Minister what options people have to receive treatment for alcohol and drug addiction if all their alcohol and drug facilities are being closed. Can the Minister tell me what options people have if they cannot access programs in the North? Thank you.
