So just to clarify, the budget line that I spoke to, the $44 million, $2 million of that is for compensation and benefits within the Department of Health and Social Services. The remaining $40 million is split between the three health authorities. And it is ultimately about the staff and the programs and the services itself.

Thank you. So we're spending $44 million then, what I'm hearing, on compensation and benefits? I thought this $44 million was to actually pay for the child and family services programming that happens. So I'm wondering if I gain clarity on that, please.

Thank you, Madam Chair. This budget line is specific to a compensation and benefits and physicians that staff within the department that are providing the services versus -- I believe the Member's question is about the number of clients that are actually in care.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I think there's a misunderstanding about what this figure is for. So I'll ask the deputy minister if she can clarify this.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, does the Minister have a breakdown of the percent or amount within this $44 million that serves youth aging out of care? That might be a little bit too specific for here today but if possible, I'm wondering if the Minister does have that breakdown. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, according to the last annual report from child and family services, 93 percent of children were living in their own home or in their own community. And of all the children in care, about half of them are supported with voluntary support agreement. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. And, Madam Chair, just to be very specific, 1200 youth in it the Northwest Territories receiving some form of care doesn't necessarily mean that all of those children have been removed from their homes; they could be under voluntary service agreement but still in their own homes. So just to confirm that piece, plus to confirm the Minister does not have a breakdown of how many youth they are serving in their own home versus in a foster care situation? Thank you.
