Mr. Speaker, the Nats’ejee Treatment Program runs about $2 million a year. That is the type of support that we would require, not that amount but that type of money in terms of having a really effective on-the-land treatment program. The Minister has alluded to programs that are run for a week or two and not for another couple of months. I am looking for some consistency in terms of on-the-land treatment programs in the Sahtu region. Again, would the Minister look at ways that we could partnership with this department in terms of having some effective programs in the Sahtu? Is the Minister willing to ensure that there are sufficient resources to ensure that the people in the Sahtu have strong on-the-land treatment programs?
