I can get back to the Member with the timelines. We have a tender currently out in RFP, so I can get back to the Member. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Question 88-19(2): Alcohol Strategy February 26th, 2020
The territorial committee on problematic substance abuse allows the GNWT to address harms of alcohol abuse, as well as other substances. The territorial committee on problematic substance abuse will report to the deputy ministers, given the interdepartmental structure. The membership of the territorial committee will consist of representatives from the Department of Health and Social Services; the Department of Justice; the Department of Education, Culture and Employment; the Department of Finance; the Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority; the Tlicho Service Agency; the Office of the Chief Coroner; the RCMP; the Workers Safety Compensation Commission; and the NWT Association of Communities.
Question 88-19(2): Alcohol Strategy February 26th, 2020
The overall approach from the department is to be able to have a scan of what are some of the alcohol, you know, the department realizes that we need to reduce the prevalence and impacts of addiction in the Northwest Territories. That is one of the things we would like to have a look at. Also, the territorial government had a territorial committee on problematic substance abuse, and this was just established in January. The mandate is to develop a comprehensive response to the ongoing issues related to substance in the Northwest Territories. That's why the department is looking at an alcohol strategy.
Question 88-19(2): Alcohol Strategy February 26th, 2020
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Sorry, things are dropping all around here. The Member has asked about the alcohol strategy, and our department has put a tender out for the development of a territorial alcohol strategy. This is basically preliminary research on a procurement of shared services to develop a territorial alcohol strategy, and presumably it would fit within it. We're trying to get a background on information that would help us develop a strategy. We are right now in the process doing the tender process.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I wish to table the following four documents entitled "Follow-up Letter for Oral Question 12-19(2), Cancer Screening, Care and Prevention in the Beaufort-Delta;" "Follow-up Letter for Oral Question 21-19(2), Addictions Treatment and Aftercare on the Land;" "Follow-up Letter for Oral Question 29-19(2), Stanton Territorial Hospital Issues;" and "Follow-up Letter for Oral Question 51-19(2), Adult Day Program for Seniors in Yellowknife."
