Thank you, Madam Chair. And thank you, Member for the question. So currently we do have the ability to provide detox in a -- medical detox, I would say, on a one-on-one basis in our hospitals in our facilities. And the health authority is working towards expanding and coming up with a model for medical detox, and that also includes community-based detox. That work is underway. Some of it did get waylaid of course with COVID and other things but that work is underway. And we don't have currently what I would consider to be dedicated beds for detox. As I mentioned, it is on a case-by-case basis. So that is our current approach in the territory with the hope that in time we would have a program that has structures and standards and processes that are established, and that is the work that is happening between the department and our health authority staff currently.
