One of the other recommendations in the report was to establish a task force to look into the use of drugs and alcohol and the use of it

by our citizens, particularly our homeless. I see that task force as looking into far more than just homeless people, but I would imagine both the housed and the homeless would be looked at in terms of alcohol abuse.

I’d like to know from the Minister whether or not he is willing to discuss this recommendation with his staff. I appreciate no decisions will be made between now and the election, but I’d like to know whether or not he can do some preliminary analysis of the value of such a task force. Thank you.
