Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, this is -- this is services that we -- so when you look at the actuals from 2023-2024 and the mains from last year, that is what was budgeted but that's not what we spent. I know that we had come back for -- we had additionally had to come back for a sup to pay for that. This is something that fluctuates. Our numbers are increasing for accessing facility-based treatment. We actually -- over the years, you know, there were calls for reducing barriers to access to treatment and so over the work, there's been a lot of work working with different ways to access treatment, reducing the barriers, going through different providers. And so there has been more of an uptake and an increase on addictions treatment, facility-based treatment.

So one of the things that we continue to see is that our -- you know, we're actually looking at how this -- how we're doing this, and -- you know, and I think the big piece is that we want to be able to provide care for those who need the specific care, but we also have to take a look on the cost. But no, we have never turned anyone away that has been referred to services so those costs continue to add to our deficit. Thank you.
