Social Services Committee — Department of Health and Community Services, and more specifically to review and answer your inquiries regarding the Estimates. Our budget in this department is just shy of $3 billion. It represents approximately 40 per cent of the overall provincial Budget. It is a significant portion of the Budget. We focused on making investments that balanced our commitments to health and safety issues while keeping the health care system sustainable for the people of Newfoundland and Labrador. I believe that our investments this year reached that balance, which was the goal through the budgetary process and operational process. Our responsibility in the Department of Health and Community Services focuses on prevention and treatment in many ways. We all know too well the serious illnesses, such as cancer, and other illnesses, and required services such as dialysis services; we know the importance of infrastructure in order to deliver these services throughout Newfoundland and Labrador. We also recognize the importance of long-term care and community support. Then there are other programs that are close to home, if I may use those terms, Mr. Chair, for the people of Newfoundland and Labrador, especially those who have to travel frequently to obtain necessary health services. Programs such as the Medical Transportation Assistance Program we know is important to people and we have made some changes on that this year. Mental health and addictions is a topic that is being talked about nationally this week. I know Mr. Parsons joined me in an announcement on Monday morning on a program and project to reduce the stigma that sometimes quite often people with mental illness or addictions have to face. We are making great strides in that area as well. We are making investments in two new treatment centres for youth; one in Paradise for youth with complex mental health needs, one in Grand Falls-Windsor for youth with addictions, and also an adult addiction centre
