Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to thank the Members for bringing forward this motion about a very difficult subject, about a substance, alcohol, that is the bane of northern existence when you look at the social problems that it causes.
There is, and has been over the last 10 years, a significant amount of work done in terms of trying to modernize and update and make our mental health and addictions services more efficient and effective. As the Member for Frame Lake pointed out, there is a review that is underway on mental health and addictions. That review will be coming forward and will, along with many other things, be on the list of the incoming 17th Assembly to look at. As we do
business plans for all those MLAs that will be back, and as business plans are done and money is looked at and the hugely long list of competing priorities are considered, it will be there for consideration by all Members of the House.
