Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, clearly we will always have, as far as I can anticipate, far more problems than we have resources for. As the Member indicated in his statement, the alcohol consumption rates, incarceration rates and crime rates due to alcohol abuse and such have not diminished. We have not eliminated or cut back on any facilities. We've, in fact, tried to enhance the services that we do provide and we've done that with communities with money added into paying alcohol and drug workers adequately to bring on more staff and clinical supervision for mental health and communities wellness. So, Mr. Speaker, it's a difficult battle. We haven't cut back any resources or closed any facilities. Thank you.
