Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister of Health and Social Services and it's in regard to the lack of professionals in our communities, especially when it comes to our frontline workers. I'm talking in particular about the alcohol and drug program which has been nil in existence for almost two years, where those dollars have been allocated it has been sitting in Inuvik at the Inuvik Regional Health Board, but there's a very high requirement to have someone in the community of Aklavik to help people with alcohol and drug problems and also deal with the day-to-day pressures that are within our small communities. I'd like to ask the Minister, knowing that we don't have a lot of these positions already filled in our communities and also what he's doing to ensure that that position is filled.
