Minister, I would like an answer to my question and not a sense of what went on in the past. I'm talking about the future and how you will meet the needs Canadians have.
For instance, the drug and substance abuse funding has been cut by almost 50%, and all of the community funding that will go to drugs and substance abuse is down by 16%.
Given that substance abuse and addiction is at an all-time high, given its cost to the health care system, given its damage to the ability of human beings to live meaningful lives, and given that this is high in Inuit and aboriginal communities, how is the minister going to meet the needs of these communities? It's obvious that a 50% cut is huge.
