Committee Motion 346-19(2): Incorporate Recommendations into Workplan, Carried

Mr. Chair, I move that this committee recommends the Department of Health and Social Services make changes to its addictions, prevention, and recovery work plan as soon as possible to reflect the recommendations contained in this committee report, Report on the Review of the 2022 Audit of Addictions, Prevention and Recovery Services. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mahsi. The motion Ms. Nokleby.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I also supportb this motion in that I don't think that the people of the Northwest Territories can wait another four months in order to have some sort of action or movement from the department on addictions. It's clear I believe we actually had two more over the weekend in the South Slave that passed away due to overdose. And so I just I really hope that meaningful action will begin now and not in 120 days. Thank you.

Mahsi. The motion is in order. To the motion.
