Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am of course delighted to work with my colleague from the NWT Housing Corporation. I really believe that housing is a key component to recovery, that people need to have their own space to provide for sober living and a sober social life and that without that it's very easy to relapse and go back into shelters and couch-surfing and to be exposed to all of those triggers that sent them into their decline in the first place. This is truly an integrated case management issue, where the person who is trying to retain their sobriety is going to need a number of supports. Housing is certainly one; counselling is another; and of course, income assistance and other measures, as well, to really stabilize the person in their recovery. Thank you.
