Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I guess I just want to hammer my point clear on success rate. In my discussion in the not so recent past, but with the Tree of Peace probably about 18 months ago, someone in the community came to me about a family member requiring treatment and the fact that they can't truly access the treatment they needed. They were significantly overwhelmed with alcohol and drug issues. So they didn't know where to go and for some reason, I am glad they called because they needed to call someone and I called the Tree of Peace. The Tree of Peace referenced the stress over and over and over again the success rate where some people are being treated in the southern facilities. They are sent to Grand Prairie or wherever as a holiday and the success rate of that trip was significantly lower than being treated in their home community.
The other thing is referencing the out-of-town healing, the fact that it was a shock when the people returned to their community and they felt they had zero support mechanism, not always, but typically outside of their home community. So the success rate was lower, which means we may be saving dollars by sending them south, but we get repeat clients, therefore, just because we can send more doesn't mean we can get a better product. So the point I am really getting at is, as my time runs out, I am just going to stress to the Minister--and I say this without prejudice--that I am disappointed I don't get a sense of the success rate. It was made clear to me our success rate is much stronger if we keep our people in our community and, with that said, it means a lot. So if we are sending folks out for whatever reason, it would mean a lot for us as an assembly to understand what type of numbers we are dealing with. Maybe that's the option. I want to make sure we are spending our money where the people are getting the best value. As I close my point, I don't necessarily mean best value means bottom dollar. Best value is how people are being treated. As far as I am concerned, this is a pressing issue, as has been pointed out earlier. People's lives are on the line. Some are in destructive circumstances and that is a pressing issue. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate the final comments.
