Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'm aware of the issue in Aklavik with the alcohol and drug worker. The Member has been very vigilant in bringing it to our attention. We have, I do believe, come up with a two-step approach. We have an agreement to hire an alcohol and drug worker who will work in the community of Aklavik, but will be a board employee and receive the benefits that come with being a board employee. In the meantime, as a result of our most recent conversations with the Member opposite, we are going to talk to the Inuvik Health and Social Services Authority about getting a regular presence on the alcohol and drug side into Aklavik as we work on the reclassification of the alcohol and drug position and the staffing in the coming couple of months. Thank you.
