Mr. Speaker, I agree with the member. The director of the program from the Minister of Health's riding, Marie Ingram, said that in her Cambridge Bay Community Wellness Centre in Nunavut her staff are panicking. The centre provides a plethora of programs, including services to offenders of anger management and drug counselling. She went on to say:
We saw 190 clients here last month and we won't see next month. Just because our funding stops, the needs don't stop. Right now, I'm just trying to find funding, anywhere and everywhere. ... People should be telling their government that we need this money. They created the social problems here. They should know they take a lot longer to fix.
The Minister of Health has 12 projects in her own riding. What is she going to say to the directors of all these programs? What are the executive directors going to say to their clients, that the funding is not there and there will be no programs and whatever obfuscation the government members are putting forward? Individual people in the midst of their healing will be facing a shut door this spring. This is not fair and it will cost lives.
