Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I heard that the Minister state that he is looking at increasing the funding with regard to social workers and whatnot but, Mr. Speaker, my view is that the biggest challenge we have in our communities is bringing the standard of salaries for mental health workers or alcohol and drug workers to a similar power as those service professionals. I would like to ask the Minister what he is doing to increase the wages of our front line workers such as our mental health and drug and alcohol workers in our communities to assist the people in our communities who have these problems?
