Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The comfort we can give the alcohol and drug workers and the mental health workers is the fact that we have invested a considerable amount of money. We have taken the time to work with the communities and the authorities to get a reclassification done that recognizes the value of the work they do. With the appropriate classification, we have raised the pay so they would have the benefit of job security, the benefit of having some qualified clinical supervision, ongoing training, and that commitment is there. It is in the budget, it is in the business plan, and we want to work out the details in those communities where there are still questions. Thank you.
