Has the Minister brought this issue to his federal counterparts and provincial counterparts and looked for some resolution to see if the City of Yellowknife can start accessing this so we can get safer streets and increase and enhance our preventative treatment programs for people who are suffering and in need in the City of Yellowknife?
