Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise again today to remind the Minister of Health and Social Services that the downtown day shelter still needs a lot of support. I spoke in the House the other day about how we need focused hope and purpose for people. We have an opportunity to give people purpose. As I said in Committee of the Whole the other day, we could be providing good focus and opportunity to treat addictions; we could be working on employment and even health clinics in this particular facility.
The government has committed financial resources as well as good brain power on the excitement and opportunity presented for people. So the issue before us here today is what are we doing to support that hope and what are we doing to provide those services to good folks.
I’ve spoken about the continued bad behavior there that we need to put an action to, and I’ll be asking questions of the Minister of Health and Social Services to see what he’s going to do from an action plan context as to how to help people there.
Today we heard how he’ll later table the Shared Path Towards Wellness. I hope he has not forgotten about the opportunities that could happen at the downtown day shelter to help people find homes, to help people find work, and certainly to help fight those demons known as addictions. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. The Member for Frame Lake, Ms. Bisaro.
