I can speak for the Edmonton drug court, but it is a little different. We're the only court in Canada that brokers out treatment. We rely on the treatment providers in the communities to provide the treatment for us. There is a real problem in finding treatment space. Right now we have 24 people in our program. We have 22 people on a waiting list. They're waiting in custody, trying to get treatment beds, housing in some cases. I think housing is a major concern across Canada. Those are some of the challenges we face.
