Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the Minister emphasizing, and I do believe the children do come first and I believe in the principle of uniting families is certainly the way we should go all the time. But, Mr. Speaker, treatment is a life-long process and I've heard from many people that a lot of folks fight substance abuse in the sense of they work towards day by day solving their problems. So when they get clean they still struggle, but they do meet this. So, Mr. Speaker, before we have a train wreck on this problem, can the Minister tell me if he will investigate the process about ensuring that we have some type of monitoring of substance-free abuse by parents who have the return of their children. Thank you.
