Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, by far, in this point in time, we spend the majority of our resources dealing with the after effects of alcoholism and abuse in our communities in the Northwest Territories. The department has recently undergone a new direction of, as stated in this House by Mr. Miltenberger, a 1 percent target at this point targeted towards the prevention side, along with the awareness campaign that the department is undertaking. So we're starting to look at further investments in the prevention side. By far, if we can get to our children at a young age, we can make a huge difference at that point. Thank you.
