WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:09):</by>  I think that is the same question that I took online before, which was about the different agencies that the government works very closely with to do that. We have a pilot program in place for the New Foundations program to help grow that as well, and we are very focused on doing that, but we work with OARS and a number of other bodies to make sure that we have facilities that are there for that.</text>
        <text id="20181106f43804d2fdb34bbe80000719">I am very happy to take it on notice and have a conversation with the member privately and talk her through the number of options there as well. With this as well, it is a matter of working very closely with, of course, Health as well because Health have a big crossover here. If it is a mental health issue, it obviously falls into the Health portfolio also.</text>
