Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Based on recommendations from the Minister’s Forum on Addictions, we have been pursuing options for on-the-land programming as well as mobile treatment. The on-the-land program may not be the most appropriate locations for specific hard core or hard drug addictions, but we do have some facilities in the South that we are contracted where that might be more appropriate. We’re working with a number of different groups who have come forward with a bunch of different opportunities for on-the-land programming. Some of them are for more after-care follow-up, some of them are more preventative and some of them are more about giving families an opportunity to heal after people have returned from different facilities. There are a lot of different opportunities out there. We are pursuing each of these opportunities and we are following the direction that was outlined by the residents of the Northwest Territories and the Minister’s Forum on Addictions.
