Where there have been partnerships between provincial health authorities and first nation communities, they have been able to provide opiate substitute maintenance therapy in the first nation community, and it has worked well. Other communities, though, with the formulary changes, with the introduction of generic OxyContin, the formulary didn't keep up in terms of opiate replacement therapy. Access to Suboxone buprenorphine didn't match. There is definitely a need because that, as I said earlier, has shown promising results in remote and isolated first nation communities. It's easy to manage, and it's easier to store than methadone.
