Our Mental Health and Addictions Action Plan talks about filling the gaps, and those are some of the gaps that we are hoping to fill. We recognize that we do not have a good treatment facility within the Territories on hard drugs. That we might be able to provide treatment for alcohol at Nats’ejee K’eh, but I think the hard drugs is certainly a gap that we need to fill, and the Member is correct that the issue is starting to spread into the smaller communities as well. We’re going to be using the community counselling as much as possible. We need to get stats, if need be, and then to work with community counsellors to be able to bring the stats down and provide a service to the communities.
