I’ve heard from many residents in my constituency who are concerned with the Sask. Party government's plans for addictions care in our region. They need to go back to the drawing board.
There's no question that we need more investments in supports for people in our communities, but it makes no sense to have an outside company delivering care to Northern people. I also don’t accept the concept of ‘virtual beds’ which has been offered by the Sask. Party multiple times as evidence of their support for those in need. What we need are real beds and a program that is actually built to help people.
I am supportive of Northern leadership, who understand the challenges and the solutions to what is being faced locally. There are many northerners who have brought forward wonderful initiatives of how to address addictions and mental health in our communities that have not been supported by the Sask Party.
The Sask. Party government should be partnering with local communities to develop plans to expand addictions treatment and open real beds in the North.
