Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
My questions will be directed to Ms. Bruce and Ms. Gillis with regard to first nations and Inuit programs.
Within my riding of Kootenay—Columbia, I have what is referred to as the Three Voices of Healing Society, which is one of the 55 centres that are funded partially by the national native alcohol and drug abuse program which you mentioned in your speech. It probably receives a portion of that $92 million that is given annually.
I'm wondering if you could talk about what the first nation and/or Inuit people seeking treatment through the NNADAP, the national native alcohol and drug abuse program, are doing as a result of their use of prescription drugs.
Also, Madam Chair, has there been an increased demand for treatment services through that program as a result of the misuse of prescription drugs in recent years?
