Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to continue my Member’s statement with some

questions on the issue of a territorial addictions treatment centre that is much needed in the Northwest Territories and as and I’ve talked to the Minister of Health and Social Services on a number of occasions. I’ve talked about although it would be nice to have one here in Yellowknife, the fact is if you’re behind this issue, which means you want to support this issue, a territorial treatment centre could happen in any region in the Northwest Territories. It doesn’t have to happen here. I mean, the criteria comes down to, really, is it accessible and can it be managed well.

My question to the Minister of Health and Social Services continues to be: What action is being taken by him to lead on this particular initiative to establish, or I should say re-establish a territorial addictions centre here in the Northwest Territories? Thank you.
