Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I know there's a program and treatment centre in Hay River that deals with alcohol addiction, but my main concern is for drug addiction. It's becoming more prevalent every day in society in the Northwest Territories, especially with our young people. As I mentioned, the economy is growing stronger and people have more money; the problem is only going to grow. I'd like to ask the Minister if he will indeed have a look at setting up a dedicated treatment centre for drug addiction in the Northwest Territories. I think it's something that we have to pay attention to and it's important enough that our future depends on it and our kids are being affected every day, in small communities especially. It's high time we did something about it. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
