Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it isn't as straightforward as taking the stroke of a pen to change a law within a regulation. We have to take into consideration the rights of all people involved. Yes, the children come first in our work and ensuring they have a safe environment, but we also have rules that we have to apply and follow when it comes to dealing with individuals. In this case I will work with the department to see what options are there, but from all indications at this point we have a number of avenues we work with and it involves working with the family and coming to agreement with the family and from time to time that does include keeping a substance abuse situation free from the family environment. Thank you.
