The cultural and traditional diversity of many of our regions in the territory also came into play, because you can’t just take one set of cultural practices and traditions and apply it to everybody who is supposed to come to a territorial facility on the Hay River Reserve, so that caused some issues as well.
The facility is closed. The contract has ended. For the record, I did not appreciate not knowing about it, because there were many people who are from Hay River who worked there. I didn’t appreciate that.
However, it is now a new day. It is time to move on. It is time to work with the government and the department to find out what that facility can be re-profiled as, and to look at the many good recommendations of the Minister’s Forum on Addictions and find out how we can best use those resources to address a very, very challenging need in our territory, that of addictions. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
