Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have taken what we think is a comprehensive approach to try to deal with addictions. We're focusing on the community level. We've put our resources in with wellness workers, mental health workers and clinical supervisors. We have some services available through Nats'ejee K'e for treatment facilities. We also have connections and facilities available down south that we have and make access for and to. We're working on a proposal to bring and repatriate some services back to the North that we think can be delivered in the North by northerners with some assistance through some local consulting groups and for service providers that now exist up here. So we are doing a number of things. We've invested millions of dollars. We've broadened our approach to include setting up a ministry responsible for youth, our involvement in the schools, the education programs that we've delivered for healthy living, active living in a whole number of areas, Mr. Speaker. We are working and it always comes back to the fundamental issue of personal choice and of working with the families, as well. Thank you
