Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The last time I checked, the citizens of the Northwest Territories are my boss and they've been telling me that this is an important matter and they'd like to see this issue dealt with. But as I see it, some of the outpatient treatments that we seem to keep looking at, as opposed to the residential treatments, may have been popular, but the Chalmers Report warns against applying generalizations to rule versus isolated areas, such as the NWT. I quote, "cost-effectiveness yet to be proven." Yet, successful numbers are there, Mr. Speaker. So for the sake of those people who could benefit from a residential treatment, would the Minister reconsider opening those dedicated treatment centres in Yellowknife and Inuvik? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
