Thank you, Mr. Chair. Before somebody goes out for treatment, and one of the residential treatment facilities that we’re currently working with, they do agree to, when they return, contact or be contacted by the community counsellor. So, there are community counsellors who are providing some degree of after-care.

There are also other opportunities. We know, and we don’t believe that we should be administering it or running it, that AA is a valuable program, but the reason it’s effective is because it’s a non-government sort of member-driven organization. We do know that there is some frustration because there may be not enough people in the community to actually really hold an AA. We’ve been working with AA groups that are trying to get established. We’re making our facilities available to them after hours. We’ve also indicated that we’d be absolutely willing to make things like telehealth available so that they could link to other communities. In fact, it has worked in a couple of communities in the Northwest Territories.

There are a number of things we’re doing. We’re trying to make sure that people have the tools they need. At the same time, and this doesn’t apply to every region in the Northwest Territories, a couple of the on-the-land programs that have come forward have had a focus on after-care. So, there are some varieties out there for individuals, and there is community support for individuals who are returning, and they are required to indicate or sign up to have continued contact when they’re back.
