Mr. Speaker, I guess I am going to have to say I disagree with that statement. Programs are good, but when people are in the system right now and they are battling addictions, they are going to need a detoxification centre to clean up their body and clean their system out, so then they can have a clear mental picture of
actually going to those programs where they will get help. I think it is putting the cart before the horse, as some Members have said before. We need to detox.
In regard to the Minister’s statement, there are four goals that he mentioned. One area that he doesn’t talk about is prevention as a goal that was set out in his action plan. Can I get the Minister to give me a reason why the prevention is not one of the four goals mentioned in this action plan? Prevent it before we have to treat it. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
