Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I move that the Assembly recommend that the Department of Health and Social Services enhance community-based aftercare services by encouraging the development of a peer support network, scheduling regular access to counselling and addictions facilities through existing health centre resources, i.e. Telehealth, and engaging with southern facilities to train territorial healthcare providers in the delivery of family support programs.

Mr. Blake.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, it's really that we have a comprehensive response to this report. Not only that, but adoption of these motions, you know, as my colleagues mention, it is people who take that step to go to treatment or take a life-changing step in their life. We need to ensure that they're successful, and the only way to ensure that is to adopt these motions and have them in place, because those are the challenges we are facing, whether it's shortage of housing. That's something that's come to myself here in the last couple of weeks with constituency issues, but I really hope that this government makes the necessary changes. I would like to request a recorded vote. Thank you.

Committee, do you agree that we have concluded consideration of Committee Report 4-18(3), Report on Adult Residential Addictions Treatment Facilities Tour 2017?
Agreed.
Thank you, committee. This concludes our consideration of report 4-18(3). Committee, I just want to take a moment to thank those people who have been working with us for this past week behind the scenes. Our interpreters, our Tlicho interpreter, Mary Rose Sundberg; North Slave interpreter, Sarah Cleary; and our Inuktitut interpreter, Suzie Short. The point of what we do here is getting this information out. That's why we sit in this House. That's why we're on TV. That's why we're on the radio, and we couldn't do it without the help of these interpreters. Thank you very much to all our interpreters for all your hard work.
I also want to thank all the Pages who have been with us this week. We greatly appreciate your hard work. We hope you have had a good time. We hope it was exciting and thrilling, just like it was for us. Thank you to all the Pages.
What is the wish of committee? Mr. Testart.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that the chairman of the Committee of the Whole leave the chair to report progress. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Testart. There is a motion on the floor to report progress. The motion is in order and non-debatable. All those in favour? All those opposed? Motion is carried.
---Carried
I will rise and report progress.
