Thank you, Madam Chair. I can see potential, for example, to having, let's say, the sale of Arnica goes through to the Yellowknife Women's Society of having a number of spaces available there to people returning from treatment. That would be a start on stabilizing people who are returning from treatment. What we hear and what you know from your own work life is that, when people return from treatment and they go back to couch surfing, that they are more likely than not to relapse because they don't really have the positive reinforcement for the changes they are trying to make. My last question...

Thank you, Madam Chair. In the last Assembly, the social development committee spent quite a bit of time on the issue of aftercare for people returning from treatment in the south. One of the things that we grappled with, and I don't see here but is an important part, is how to measure success. There are people, as you know, go and start treatment and don't complete it. There are people who go and complete treatment and stay sober for the rest of their lives, and there is everything in between. Do you have some thoughts about how to evaluate the results of improving the services for aftercare...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. At times in the past, when a new alcohol policy has been discussed that would change pricing, change accessibility, and so on, there has been pushback from the public. My question for the Minister is: how is she going to create public support for better alcohol policies? Thank you.
