Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services.

What is the complete breakdown of how the $900,000 budget for the on-the-land mobile treatment program will be spent in the 2014-2015 Main Estimates?

With reference to the Poundmaker’s, Aventa, Fresh Start and Edgewood treatment programs offered to our residents with addictions:

What are the number of program days offered and the daily rates for each?

What is the average monthly cost to the GNWT for each?

What are the number of NWT clients who have started these programs for each, the number of NWT clients who have completed these programs for each, and the relapse rate of NWT clients who have completed these programs for each?

What is the complete investment breakdown in support of the Mental Health and Addictions Action Plan in 2014-2015 including, but not limited to, all job positions, contract dollars, travel, communication costs, community network costs, community-based withdrawal management (detoxification), and NGO funding?
