Again, and I'm glad that the Minister for Northern Affairs will be here to speak with you because, of course, the Province of Nunavut is responsible for health care and building those health care facilities. We will work with Nunavut to look at how we can support those kinds of things, like treatment centres.
I'll say what I say about treatment centres to everyone, though.
I come from a family that's experienced substance use problems throughout many generations. Treatment centres are only as good as the desire of the person to go to them. We have to be thinking more broadly than treatment centres.
Of course, we need better access to treatment when people need it, but we also need the kinds of things that make people successful after they leave the treatment centre, which help solidify those gains they make and that recovery they experience while in treatment. If people go back to the exact same conditions and the exact same circumstances, relapses are all too often the result. It's heartbreaking for the person and it's heartbreaking for the family.
As much as everybody talks about treatment centres, I'm very excited about the prevention piece of our wellness and mental health strategy, so we can prevent people from needing that kind of intensive treatment in the first place.
