Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Following up on the Mental Health and Addictions Action Plan, we have contracts with four facilities in southern Canada. We also have $1.2 million in the Northwest Territories budget that we’re going to be using for on-the-land programming, and we have gone to the Aboriginal
governments to distribute those dollars and we’re looking for plans.
With respect to facilities in the Northwest Territories, what we’re hoping to do is have a mobile treatment option program where we have a program in the Northwest Territories that can go to different regions at different times in different facilities that happen to be located throughout the Northwest Territories. There are a number of buildings or facilities that would be appropriate for mobile options, but before we actually finalize any of those locations, we need to finalize the work we’re doing on the mobile treatment program. We have made some progress on that. It has been slow. I will admit, we haven’t got as far as we would like and we’re not ready to roll out a program, but that will be where we’re able to use local facilities throughout the Northwest Territories and provide yet another option for our residents who are seeking treatment.
