Thank you, Madam Chair. I will raise that question with the appropriate Minister at the appropriate time. I know Mr. Villeneuve talked earlier about the availability of detoxification facilities in the Northwest Territories and I know the one here in Yellowknife was shut down a few years back. Given the fact that we are experiencing what I believe is a very high level of persons that are suffering from the addiction to alcohol, we are getting many folks moving into Yellowknife from the regions and they bring their problems with them, Madam Chair. We don't have a facility here in Yellowknife to effectively treat them. I know there are some programs at the Salvation Army, but I think we are missing a step if we don't have a dedicated detoxification facility, not just for alcohol, but for drugs. I mentioned earlier what a problem drugs are becoming in our society here in the Northwest Territories. I think it's very important that we have a facility in place to help people get their lives back in order. Madam Chair, I would like to ask the Minister what it is costing the Department of Health and Social Services to send people to places like Henwood and what these facilities charge the Government of the Northwest Territories to look after our citizens.
As an aside to that, I think it's enough of a difficult time for an individual who is having problems with alcohol abuse and the family problems that come as a result of this alcoholism, and then they have to leave the Northwest Territories and any support mechanisms that they have in place are not there. They are not here. They are on their own in Edmonton or Toronto, wherever the government sends them. I have some difficulty with that, that we are sending our residents south for treatment when I think they should be treated here in the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Madam Chair.
