Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today in this House we made reference to Family Violence Awareness Week. We are making concerted efforts to focus on prevention and that we're trying to deal with problems at the front end. We've funded and increased the funding for alcohol and drug workers, we've added social work positions, we've increased the environmental budget over the last three years by $40 million. Mr. Speaker, we are basically pouring a lot of money into the health and social service system. Until we deal with the front end issues of what causes the problems and what causes the people to drink and to abuse their families, we will never have enough money to deal with the issues. Thank you.
