Yes, Mr. Chair, this is a question for my response.
I can say that there was the $150 million allocated for the emergency treatment fund. The hope is to get it into the hands of jurisdictions relatively quickly. The design of the fund is such that we wanted to use it to help them build their capacity to develop substance use treatment.
We have reached agreement with every jurisdiction in the country to flow those dollars. All of the agreements were signed and in place before the start of the fiscal year. I can thus report, just as an update, that we have now deals with all jurisdictions and that the money is flowing.
I don't, off the top of my head, remember over what time frame the money can be spent, but it doesn't all have to be spent in one year. There is a flow. It can be spent over a couple of years.
All of those agreements have been or will ultimately be made public on our website, and people can see the action plans developed by each jurisdiction as to how the money will be spent. There is a measure of transparency, then, depending upon what province or territory you live in, as to what the money will go towards.
