Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I don't believe the community of Aklavik can wait a few months. People are being refused access to alcohol and drug programs because the services are not offered in the community. We have children who are being excused from the classroom because of behaviour problems, not being able to have counsellors in the community to assist these children. This is an essential service in a small community, and I think it's important as a government that we assist wherever we know that those pressures are in our communities, especially alcohol which has a high impact on our communities. It has to be dealt with and we have to look at alternatives. I'd like to ask the Minister can he move a lot faster than having to wait a few months?
