Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the programs we have are geared to the issue of addictions; mainly alcohol, but drugs as well. I would suggest that on the degree and actual specific issue we're dealing with or degree of issue we're dealing with, that the services we have here are a starting point. If it's a situation where a person is thoroughly addicted and is into some kind of withdrawal program as opposed to dealing with the issues that may be assisting or feeding or causing her to support her addiction -- the family issues, the other issues that may be there -- then we have to look at that. But we do have resources here in Yellowknife and most other communities where we have workers. We have arrangements with the Salvation Army here, to name where there are some resources as a starting point to deal with the initial counselling and the kind of further treatment that may be required. Thank you.
