Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Minister commit to providing Indigenousbased culturally
Member for Monfwi, the Minister took it on notice so it's got to be on another topic.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Minister commit to providing Indigenousbased cultural relevant addiction treatment for any Indigenous NWT residents who request it? Thank you.
Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, just to be really clear, we have contracts with five addictionsbased facility treatments in BC, Alberta, and Ontario. If people are seeking facilitybased treatment, they should connect with their community counselling program and get a referral to one of those places. That's the start of the process. And once they're referred to the place, they go on to that place's waiting list, and they are then accepted when a bed is available. And using the method I've just described, the treatment is fully paid for. Thank you.
