Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we concluded an addictions strategy. We have built that into the business planning process and the budget that was just completed. There were, I believe, 25 major recommendations that came out of that document. We got funding for the first five recommendations. The priority issues were in fact to deal with the incumbents in the alcohol and drug programs, to look at their pay, which has been historically very, very low with no benefits. We've taken steps to obtain the funding, we're doing the job descriptions, we're going to redefine them as community wellness prevention workers, we're going to give them the benefits, and the majority of them will become board employees. We're going to hire, in addition, some additional mental health counsellors in various communities, and we're hiring some supervisors. We're going to develop a curriculum so there's ongoing training for people that do alcohol and drug mental health work. That was in last year's business plan.

In this year's business plan that is going to be reviewed by committees we'll be looking at trying to implement the remaining recommendations and obtaining funding, if not to do all of them, at least try to get some funding to do the remaining 20 recommendations. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
