Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I don't know what it's going to take to convince this Minister how essential this position is in the community. I have children who have basically had to leave school because of behavioural problems. There's no one there who can assist these children. We have people who can't take programs because they can't get the basic orientation programs to prepare them for programs outside the community. We have justice committees that can't give an alternative sentence to youth because of an alcohol and drug problem, because you don't have people in the community that can assist them. So I'd like to ask the Minister, knowing that this money is there, what will it take this department to ensure that they advertise for this position as soon as possible and have that position filled within, say, a week?
