Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Next for general comments I have Mr. Nadli and then return to Mr. Hawkins. Mr. Nadli.

Agreed. Thank you. I will ask the Sergeant-at-Arms to escort witnesses into the Chamber.

Mr. Yakeleya, for the record, could you please introduce your witnesses.

I think the issue is of trust and building relationships. So if you did have these professionals that were providing this mobile treatment, I would like the Minister to confirm if there could be continuity, if there could be a long-range relationship developed with the community or the people who could be the helpers also in the community going forward, not just a one-time deal where some people you don’t know come into town, everybody is all excited, everybody jumps on board and says let’s do this. I want something that’s sustained, that is supported and that will see some results. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Anything further, Mr. Bromley?

Thank you, Mr. Nadli. I will ask Mr. Yakeleya if he would like to bring witnesses into the House.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services. I think it’s safe to say that the Minister doesn’t have a magic wand.

I believe that when we are identifying a problem, if we have any ideas about what some solutions might be, it might also be good to bring those up as well.

We have tried a lot of things. Let’s not say that our government has done nothing to address addictions because we certainly have tried a lot of things. Unfortunately, they have...

Thank you, Mr. Blake. I’d like to briefly return to Mr. Bromley. I think he had a question for Mr. Yakeleya that didn’t get addressed, so I’d like to go back to Mr. Bromley, please.

Question is being called.

Thank you. Ms. Bisaro.
