Agreed. Thank you. I will ask the Sergeant-at-Arms to escort witnesses into the Chamber.

Mr. Yakeleya, for the record, could you please introduce your witnesses.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Anything further, Mr. Bromley?

I think the issue is of trust and building relationships. So if you did have these professionals that were providing this mobile treatment, I would like the Minister to confirm if there could be continuity, if there could be a long-range relationship developed with the community or the people who could be the helpers also in the community going forward, not just a one-time deal where some people you don’t know come into town, everybody is all excited, everybody jumps on board and says let’s do this. I want something that’s sustained, that is supported and that will see some results. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Nadli. I will ask Mr. Yakeleya if he would like to bring witnesses into the House.

Thank you, Mr. Blake. I’d like to briefly return to Mr. Bromley. I think he had a question for Mr. Yakeleya that didn’t get addressed, so I’d like to go back to Mr. Bromley, please.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services. I think it’s safe to say that the Minister doesn’t have a magic wand. This is not a problem with an easy solution and that’s why we highlight it and bring it up here again today. I believe that when we are identifying a problem, if we have any ideas about what some solutions might be, it might also be good to bring those up as well.

We have tried a lot of things. Let’s not say that our government has done nothing to address addictions because we certainly have tried a lot of things. Unfortunately, they have...

Question is being called.

Committee, we have agreed to consider Bill 24, An Act to Amend the Liquor Act. I will now ask the bill’s sponsor, Mr. Yakeleya, to introduce the bill. Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. General comments. Next I have Mr. Moses.

Thank you. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. I didn’t hear a specific question there. I’ll think we’ll just take that as general comments and move on to Mr. Bouchard.
