Mr. Speaker, first of all, Health Canada has changed dramatically over the years. What used to be a bureaucratic top-down process has predominantly become many bands with transferred services, who are taking care of their own health care services, managing community-based services.
With regard to isolating one support from the many supports, the hon. member talked about the importance of the little hamlets. In spite of the excellent work of the Aboriginal Healing Foundation, it could not reach all the communities. However, we have alcohol and drug workers in all those communities. We have nurses and mental health counsellors. We have tele-medicine programs. Things are really improving.
