Mr. Speaker, as I indicated, the health costs are, indeed, a pressing issue. If we start first with the personal responsibility, the simple things of diet, exercise, don’t smoke and don’t abuse alcohol would diminish in a very dramatic way our health costs, and we have not yet been able to come to grips with how to encourage Northerners in all communities, wherever they may live, to make those right personal choices. In the meantime, we continue to invest millions of dollars in counselling programs, addictions programs like Nats’ejee K’eh. We have community programs that are being funded, including in the Member’s riding. Deninu Ku’e First Nations are given assistance for an addictions counsellor position, and as well in Lutselk’e there is money there for both mental health and addictions programs as well as youth addictions initiatives. There is additional funding.

We know there could always be more money used, but we are doing the best we can with the resources we have. I know the Minister, through her Foundation for Change, is looking at ways for us to come to grips with that fundamental cost driver of how do you get people to make the right personal choices. Thank you.
