Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the Member's statement he made a number of comments on the issue we face in the Northwest Territories and what we need to do as a government; provide the tools. Ultimately, Mr. Speaker, in this area of programming -- and I can speak from experience -- it starts at home with the individual. If you want real change, it has to start at that level. As a government, we have to have the necessary tools in place to ensure that people can deal with the issues that are before them. In this specific case, I would have to get up to speed as to where the department is in the area of alcohol and drug programs. I know in the past, we have looked at a mobile treatment plan. I have to see if that is still in the works and how effective that was. Once I have that information, then I would be able to look into it a little further. At this point, I don't feel I can give a serious commitment as to what needs to be done. Once I get further updated, then I can respond in a more appropriate manner. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
