between AFN, Health Can, NNAPF; all had a voice in renewal; collecting information;

everyone is effective; police, social welfare, social assistance in communities;

 National treatment strategy—mainstream strategy—has many same components as the
NNADAP framework; provincial strategy priority fit with NNADAP framework and
regional assessments; provincial received F.N. funding; services (LHINs) should address

Priority of areas of implementation:
Priority 4: Workforce Development Strategy—development of Clinical Supervisor
guidebook, National salary review and development of job descriptions; no new dollars
to implement renewal framework; look at how we are providing services and change
them; ie, treatment services opportunity to re-profile; some funding has come for salaries
but have not been received by workers; intended to improve wages in the region;
Seeking ideas how to advocate for funding to improve salaries; cannot force communities
(incentives) to give to workers.
Provincial integration—HISF funding, Transitional, Mental Wellness/Addictions
workers; LHINs aboriginal priorities; Cultural supports/competencies.
National Advisory Council Structure on PDA:
 Regional PDA Committee--Tracy Antone—Ontario representative
